I wanted to add this sweet clip of a young Peter Pitofsky to my recent post, Beating Yourself Up for Fun & Profit, because of all the harm he manages to do to himself while trying to start what the audience figures is just another stand-up comedy act. Since he doesn’t actually fight himself, it didn’t quite fit, but here it is as a separate post, a rich example of a clown creating obstacles for himself, in the hilarious tradition of George Carl and Donald O’Connor.
