You know why Judah Friedlander (whose four-night stand at The Punchline continues through Sunday) is wicked funny? Because he made me laugh within the dreaded cone of pain: the 24 Mengelesque hours following the belated removal of my wisdom teeth. I was in so much pain — OK, severe annoyance — I even forgot to podcast the damn interview. It’s one of those you-had-to-be-there moments, because Friedlander is one of those comics who is so naturally funny that he reminds me of a friend of mine. That kind of funny. (My friend’s name is George. He knows who he is.)
