One Man Shows Lyrics
I'm 19 years old, I'm a young comedian
I hate that term, "young comedian", you know

Except I adapted it into a story about an intergalactic sexual predator called The Rapes of Grath
2002, I did a piece, if you're familiar with The Elephant Man
I did a piece based off that called Bulldog Man (Voice cracks when he says "man")
Oh, also known as Bulldog Man (Says "man" properly) for those who hit puberty
And I uh
I'll do a monologue from that right now
(Silence)
(Laughter)
For those listening on the CD, I kind of look like a bulldog
2003, 4? 3. Doesn't matter, I'm lying
2000-
2004, I did a piece called Sm
