The writer hit his $3,000 goal within two weeks of creating the Kickstarter page, and has spent the time since then collecting photos of the comedian and interviewing his friends, family, and comedy peers.

Last year I did more of a review than a “Top 15” list, but this year I decided to try and list the 15 events that meant the most to me. Some of them I was involved in personally, others not, ... but all of them were events I attended to cover for my column in The Interrobang. It’s important to emphasize that they are NOT in order.
