Hi, Joe!
Twenty-five years later, your work pops up in my world again. I’d completely forgotten the Comedy Corner “feud” (was it really a feud? My memories are hazy.) of the late 1980s, but when your name was attached to a post about the Lebowski Cycle on http://thisisnthappiness.com, I thought “Forkan…Joe Forkan? Could this be the same guy?”
I like your work. Glad to see you’re still at it, all these years later.

Hi Bret,
Well, that’s a blast from the past. Hadn’t thought of all that in a long time. Kind of funny to think about now.
Mutual heckling at that stand up gig, I think. Never stopped making work, although you can see it’s changed over the years.
Did you continue doing standup? Still in AZ?
