Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: The Always Politically Incorrect Don Rickles in Montreal
In 2014, Don Rickles, the always politically incorrect insult comic, made an appearance at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal.
It was one of his last performances (he died two years later) and he was in rare form, interacting with hilarious dialogue with members of the large audience who were close enough to the stage to receive the volley of insults that Rickles made his specialty.
After a few minutes of banter with the audience including references to his Jewishness and his 49-year marriage, Rickles showed that he could sing by belting out a few verses of Laughter for Love.
Enjoy!
