Performer
Andy Kaufman
Refused to call himself a comedian, wrestled women on stage and read The Great Gatsby aloud to hostile audiences. He died at thirty-five and some people still think it was a bit.
Andrew Geoffrey Kaufman was an American entertainer and performance artist. He has sometimes been called an "anti-comedian". He disdained telling jokes and engaging in comedy as it was traditionally understood, once saying in an interview, "I am not a comic, I have never told a joke. The comedian's promise is that he will go out there and make you laugh with him. My only promise is that I will try to entertain you as best I can."
