Leo Bloom, a nervous man prone to hysterics, is the latest person Max's accounting firm has sent to audit Max's books.
Shawn was a “hipster” before the term became a dirty word.Brash and loud Max Bialystock was once a successful Broadway producer who now resorts to wooing and seducing elderly women, each with their own specific sexual peccadillo, to raise enough money for his shows.

Most of them were unaware that he had died until they read the notices in the morning’s paper. He was dead.Įven as he was receiving CPR on stage, the audience was not sure whether it was part of the act or not, but they began to leave after paramedics arrived.

The audience thought it was part of the act and laughed, but after a few moments of silence, someone came onstage, checked him out, and called into the audience for a doctor. In a stand-up routine in San Diego in April 1987 he was portraying a politician, saying “if elected, I will not lay down on the job.” Then he fell face-down onto the stage. And Shawn’s dying, sad as it was, was also totally surreal - much like the man himself.
And any mention of Shawn is better than none at all, even if it is in the context of his dying.
But fuck it, I love this video too much to sit on it. The anniversary of Dick Shawn’s death was yesterday (April 17) and I had intended to share this then, but there’s been so many posts about people dying here on Dangerous Minds that I held off.
