So in the early 1980s, he invented Dice, a name he stumbled upon while browsing his bar mitzvah photo album and spotting a picture of a classmate who played dice in the playground.</font></font></p><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

At the height of his fame, when he was delivering a slick act in arena shows, he taped a surprise drop-in at a small club, doing nearly two hours of improvised jokes, some of which bombed. At one point, a fan demands he tell an obscene nursery rhyme, his signature bit. “This ain’t what this show is about,” Mr. Clay says. “This show is not about laughter. It’s about comedy. You don’t have to laugh to enjoy it.”</font></font></p><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

The tour, called Mr. & Mrs. America, will kick off in Long Island in September, according to Fox News, and was inspired by our political discourse. Well, that and the “alleged policing of comedians’ language,” as Fox News put it. Let the ham-fisted provocations begin.</font></font></font></p><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

During her set, Barr read from papers as she called out ABC for firing her from last year’s Roseanne revival. “Dear ABC,” Barr said in part. “When you asked me back to once again bail out your shit, fuckin,’ low-rated network, I did so with the same vigor I’ve always rocked, and I delivered you the highest ratings that you had in 10 fucking years. At the first sign of controversy, you killed me off with a drug overdose. But you know what? I ain’t dead, bitches.” Presumably—hopefully?—Barr’s set for this tour will come with more actual punch lines.</font></font></font></p><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

Barr has no financial or creative involvement with the show’s new offshoot, The Conners, which launched by killing off her character with an opioid overdose. Clay, meanwhile, has remained loyal to his friend, defending her apparently God-given right to say whatever the hell she wants without consequences. “When people ask about what she said, I say, ‘She’s a comic!’” Clay told Fox News. “We gotta stop policing comedians. This is America!” Tickets for the event go on sale next week.</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></p><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
