Q: Does the ineptitude of Minnesota sports teams play into your act, or do you try to branch out a bit?
A: Oh yeah, that's a big part of it. I basically have my act split up into three chunks. One is Minnesota sports, one is Seven Outta 10, [Common Man has long proclaimed that seven out of every 10 people on Earth are just plain stupid] and the other is raising kids. Each runs about eight to 10 minutes, and I'll also ad-lib a bit, depending on what the crowd is like. But yeah, I'll take some cheap shots at the local teams, oh yeah.
Q: Do Deuce and Baby Brother Peter [his children] ever make it to any shows?
A: No, my humor tends to go a little blue. I don't work navy blue, it shades more royal blue, but it's blue enough where I wouldn't want the kids there.
Q: Do you have a favorite venue or a show from the past that sticks out?
A: I like the last one I just did at a guy's garage in Glencoe. He had a big double garage with two big overhead doors, like the kind that you would see at a car dealership, you know the ones that roll up? It was right in this guy's neighborhood, and he had a stage built with lighting and he actually had a sound system because he used to do disc jockey stuff on the side. It was really kind of weird because I pull into this neighborhood and he's got a red light outside of his house, spinning around and around like a cherry on a police car. And I come up and he's got all of these buddies of his and people from around Glencoe who have come out to this guy's garage for a party where he hired some stand-up comics.
