Comedian Fred Berry, the guy who played Rerun from “What’s Happening”, came with headliner Pauly Shore at a stand-up show in my hometown back in like 2000. Famous for his high voice, high energy, and red beret - he accidentally walked right off the frontend of the stage mid-set. He was portly, so it wasn’t graceful. He continues the rest of his set in the pit until he introduces Pauly on stage – to which Pauly books it top speed and jumps in after him.
MC: Would you 2 fools get outta there!
Pauly: No. We like down here!
Rerun: We’ve accepted our fate. It’s closer to hell down here.
Pauly: Trust me, I’d be easier if you just bring everyone into the pit.
If it was me falling over the steps in a dance performance, I’d stay down after the second time too.
Sometimes you just have to let gravity win
Gravity indeed.
