Robert Klein on vulgarity

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on April 26th, 2007

Robert Klein, quoted in the Jewish News Weekly of Northern California:

He also has a few bones to pick with the direction of stand-up comedy. “I’m not for any kind of censorship,” he says, “but I do decry some of the vulgarity and cruelty. Constant vulgarity is akin to lack of civility. I got a mixed review in the New York Times, accusing me of not cursing.”

From an interview on the occasion of his appearance at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco this Saturday night.
