Continuing along the theme of childhood nostalgia for tv shows, anyone else out there remember “Incredible Sunday” (or maybe it was called “That’s Incredible”; I forget). In any case, one of the most amazing performances I ever saw was a guy named Stevie Starr, the regurgitator. He could do things like swallow light bulbs, billiard balls, and goldfish, and then regurgitate them all back up. Today, as I was explaining how awesome he was, I was challenged as to whether he could actually do these things or not, seeing as how I only saw the show once, when I was about 10 years old.
Watch the video and you be the judge: stevie_starr.wmv.

What up, 16 year old memory!
Update: ps, please do not link directly to the wmv file, as that’s called “bandwidth stealing”. I’ve updated some config files to prevent this, but it would save everyone trouble if you just played nice and linked here instead. Thanks.

I LOVE YOU!!!!
I think I shit my pants…
I saw him do all of that in around 1990 when he came to do a show at my Uni, then twice more in the mid-nineties in a comedy club. I was sitting only feet away when he was banging the billiard ball on the table or giving the lightbulb to an audience member to see that it was real. In his full length show he did load of other things. Absolutely awesome. I’d like to know where he’s gotten to now.
Could anyone inform me as to whether there are any dvd’s of stevie starr.
Thank you.
