Some comics do the same routine again and again and it bores me to tears. I could watch this guy do the same stuff forever and he'd still make me laugh.

R.I.P. In a world full of mostly nondescript comics, there was no mistaking this guy for another. I remember a similar bit he did in the late 80s/early 90s in which the woman was a "volunteer" from the audience, even though it quickly became obvious that she'd been chosen beforehand and knew what she was getting herself into.

If you watch his act, he's usually abusive to himself- first and foremost, the gag is that anyone he touches in his act gets wrecked like a tornado. Compared to other comics of the era (Sam Kinison, Andrew dice Clay) he wasn't misogynistic, just equally abusive. Not getting women equally involved would be sexist.

There was an Amazing Jonathon act where he takes a $20 bill from a volunteer, puts it in an envelope, mixes it with 2 other envelopes, asks the volunteer which envelope it's in after shuffling them, burns the other 2 in a small bucket, whole mixing in his humor, anyone know if that recording exists? I had it taped, but lost the tape, that was my favorite Amazing Jonathon.
