On this Throwback Thursday let's go back 32 years to 1990 when comedian Wayne Cotter did a show for Stand Up Spotlight on VH1.
Wayne
Cotter attended the University of Pennsylvania where he studied
electrical engineering. But after working as a computer engineer, he
noticed similarities between engineering and comedy as he performed
stand-up routines at night.
He quit his day job and devoted himself to comedy full time, appearing on The Tonight Show, Late Show with David Letterman, and Politically Incorrect. From 1991 to 1994, he hosted Comic Strip Live, a stand-up comedy series on the Fox television network.
Cotter was one of the comedians featured in The Aristocrats. He also had a small part in the film Spy Hard.
He now performs at corporate events. Some of his routines focus on the
connection between the thought processes that go into engineering design
and the crafting of jokes.
A few years ago, Cotter was selected by Avi Lieberman to appear in one of his semi-annual Comedy for Koby tours in Israel.
Today we're sharing a standup routine that Cotter did on VH1 in 1990.
Enjoy!
