Bill Engvall was the first headlining comedian I had ever experienced — I was 33 years old at the time. It was at the Improv Comedy Club at the end of 1992 (the comedy club died the next year).

I laughed so hard that night my ribs were sore for two days.

That single event set the level of laughter that I wanted to achieve in my own stand-up comedy career.

Now Bill Engvall has become one of America’s top comedians and has scored #1 albums earning platinum and gold status, out-selling super star comedians like Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld.

He has also starred in “Blue Collar TV” and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour movies, whose original documented the most successful comedy tour in years.

Bill recently participated in the final installment of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, appearing on the One For The Road CD and DVD. His newest CD and DVD,15º Off Cool, filmed at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX, features all-new material.

As a new or aspiring comedian, Bill Engvall is a comedy master to study and lean from, especially if you use the newer, harder hitting, conversational style of stand-up comedy as detailed in the Killer Stand-up Comedy System.

Yes, It’s True

I know that there are a number of people who read my blog and wonder…

Did The Prof actually ever perform any stand-up comedy?

Not only did I perform stand-up comedy for over a decade, but I’m about to offer you an opportunity to access a very special and very rare 13 minute encore performance (mp3) that I delivered after a comedy show that I headlined in San Diego with an audience of 400+ people.

A Little Background

I had been doing stand-up comedy for about 30 months when this performance audio was professionally recorded as a part of my comedy CD (1995). I was a headlining comedian on active duty in the Navy with 5 years left to retire.

The encore performance audio clip I am offering below was performed for the very first time on stage in this recording. This is one of only a couple of times that I ever even performed this bit because…

It was the only stand-up comedy material I ever did concerning the Navy. I usually didn’t want anyone to know I was in the Navy when I was performing on stage. Also, the content matter of this bit made it unacceptable for corporate work.

This 13 minute encore performance is called:

The Best Story I Know

And it involves a rumor that I started about an imaginary creature while on deployment in the Far East that swept the entire 7th Fleet.

This encore clip was performed after an hour long set and a 15 minute break. Like I said, this was the first time I performed this material on stage. The ONLY reason I could do that much new killer material in one whack was because of the Killer Stand-up Comedy System.

But Here’s The Important Part

Here are the critical things you need to know about this audio clip:

- It’s 13 minutes long (no tracks) and provided as an mp3 file (you can download or listen online).

- The material in this stand-up comedy audio clip is R+ rated! If you are under 30, do not continue. The material in this clip contains the most adult content you could imagine and graphic profanity. This material was never performed at any corporate event. Once you hear it, you’ll understand why. It’s not what I would consider “family friendly” in the least.

- With the exception of the last line in the bit, this story is 100% true. Yes, it happened and yes, that was my job in the Navy.
