OK, I'm not sure it was SW, but it's his style, even if he wasn't the comic involved in this. Basically,it's the most elaborate set-up I've ever heard of.

The comic invovled would walk out on stage, and open his show with the signature joke:
"I lost my job last week. Well, i didn't lose it exactly, I know where it is. But when I go there, there's this other guy doing it."

It got to the point, that he would just wlak out and say "I lost my job last week...", and there would be an obligatory titter from the audience. Well, one day he came out on stage, looked at the audience and said "I lost my girlfriend last week". Nothing else. It gradually hit the audience, and they started laughing.

Of couse, I'm picturing the one poor slob in the audience whose never heard this guy before, sitting there thinking "What the fuck is everybody laughing for?".

So, anyway, can anyone confirm that the comic involved in this either was or was not Seven Wright?
