Loss in the World of Comedy

Richard Jeni, one of my favorite comedians (whom I've been fortunate enough to see... up close and personally... three times at Comedy Works in Denver), is gone. All news reports are pointing to his suicide yesterday morning. WHAT? WHY? That's all I can think... and I'm deeply saddened. RIP...

"People always talk about the fine line between comedy and tragedy, and the line exists because it is a way to keep from crying."
