I used to see him in the East Village back in the day and sat next to him in a diner on one occasion. Remarkably tiny guy, very pretty with a rinse in his hair and penchant for wearing a green velvet suit. Had to be super brave and for that I will always admire him.
He lived on 3rd street between 2nd and 1st avenues—the Hell's Angels block.
I saw him do his monologue at a few different theaters over the years, and he made it known that his phone number was listed; he felt it was his duty to his public. So I called him occasionally on the phone; he was always excruciatingly polite.
