And a genuinely sweet guy, apparently. A story that happened to a friend of a friend, so I can’t vouch for its veracity, but it sounds about right: The guy was at a Richman show and met him afterward in the standard post-show milling around. He was short of cash, and need to get home, so he asks Jonathan “Hey, can I borrow twenty bucks?” Without missing a beat, Jonathan says, “I don’t see why not” reaches into his pocket and gives the guy a twenty.
My own experience is less personal - I’ve just seen him live several times - but I go see him whenever I can.
