Marcus Monroe "The Rock Star of Jugglers" Wins the 2012 Andy Kaufman Award

by | November 14th, 2012

The 8th Annual Andy Kaufman Award Show was held last night at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City, and the winner of the award this year was Marcus Monroe, a juggler/comedian who bills himself as "the rock star of jugglers." Past recipients of the Kaufman Award include Kristen Schaal, Reggie Watts, and Brent Weinbach, who have all seen their careers skyrocket subsequently, so it's possible the same thing will happen for Monroe. Here's the highlight reel of his performance last night. Check him out impersonating Reggie Watts (before Reggie Watts interrupts him) at Bonnaroo this summer after the jump.

- Repeat the sentence "You guys know what I think about recursion?" for half an hour. Then take a bow and, as if you're starting a new joke, repeat the sentence "You know what I think about repetition?" for forty-five minutes.

- Do your regular set, silently.
