Of course, you and I probably know of Martin Mull via his roles in the film Clue and the show Rosanne.
Funny how many people that do X in Hollywood started out doing Y…
I alternated obscure appearances across America with higher-profile opening-act jobs at the Boarding House in San Francisco, the Troubadour in Los Angeles, and the Great Southeast Music Hall in Atlanta, where I first performed with the singer/ comedian Martin Mull. Martin’s wit was Sahara-dry; he performed onstage sitting on living room furniture and sang his own comic songs, with titles like “Noses Run in My Family,” “I’m Everyone I Ever Loved,” “( How Could I Not Miss) A Girl Your Size,” and “Jesus Christ, Football Star.”
