I met with Williams at the Comedy Cellar in New York where we discussed whiskey, hanging with Robin Williams and why he loves the silences in his shows as much as the laughs. You’re a whiskey fan? I love whiskey, I love scotch.
I was what I call a ‘frat house’ drinker — let’s do shots of tequila ! — until I met my wife. And she likes her scotch smoky and peaty. I thought I hated scotch.
Turns out I just hated bad scotch. And I’m actually part owner of a brewery in San Diego called Thorn Street Brewery . (Laughs) It takes a genius to figure out where it's located.
What was your first drink? The first drink that got me sick was called ’99 Bananas.’ That messed me up because it’s like you're drinking candy. That was in college.
I woke up in a bathtub. Thankfully no water. And also as a dwarf I could spread out in the bathtub (laughs).
What was your first ‘favorite’ cocktail? Jack and Coke. But now I love a cocktail called ‘Gold Rush. It's whiskey, lemon, honey syrup and ginger.
It's really good. Comedian Brad Williams See A Total Eclipse Of A Star As Manhattanhenge Retu.
