Kid Dave Miller on Bob & Tom Friday AM

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 14th, 2008

Kid Dave Miller returns to the pages of SHECKYmagazine.com today! It’s been some time since Miller composed a column for us, and we’re happy he’s returned for one more.

We met Dave a few years back at the Punchline in Atlanta. After the show, we retired across the parking lot to Cafe 290 for a few beers. The three of us kicked around various ideas and philosophies related to the art and business of standup and swapped stories. (Like the time Dave worked with Frank Gorshin!?) We agreed that Dave had a lot of stored knowledge about the road and he had an interesting way of imparting it.

Thus, “Road Worthy” was born.

He decided to write another one because it has been 20 years since he gave the day job the ol’ heave-ho.

Twenty-two years ago, I was working on a ranch in a very rural part of the Texas panhandle, wondering If I was going to spend the rest of my life repairing windmills and dehorning cattle. Then I moved to Ft. Worth, stumbled into standup comedy, and, well, here we are. The following is a brief reflection on the my 20 years in standup comedy.

Congratulations, Dave! And we’re honored to have you back onboard. Dave’s column is 20 years of sage advice from someone who’s been there and done that.

And if we had that Quicktime plug-in working, we’d listen in live tomorrow morning. Attention all Indianapolitans: Dave’s headlining this weekend at Oneliners in Greenwood! Stop on by and say hey and “Happy anniversary!”
