Larry Bucklan

Okay,So, when I was there the only real rules that they could figure for improv were 1. no swearing, 2. no joking about how much money Michael Eisner made, (which was in the news at the time) and no joking about Walt being cryogenically preserved. Robin Williams was Disney's guest in the parks and often they would bring the celeb guests to the Comedy Warehouse at night. After a show we announced that Robin was in the audience (with Bob Goldwaith) and invited him on stage to thunderous applause. At the time our on stage monitor was on a shelf with plastic icicles hanging off of it. Now, remember, Robin had no idea of our rules. He comes on stage, takes an exploritory lap around as the applause dies, stops in front of the shelf and says: "You mean to tell me with all the fucking money Michael Eisner makes this is where they froze Walt?" Boom, boom, boom. Perfect.
