Mike Gunn - Uncut

Mike Gunn introduced himself to his audience as a heroin addict.  I shifted in my seat as the crowd stared blankly at him.  I'm very happy to say, however, that Mike Gunn, despite creating this mammoth hurdle for himself, managed to win the audience back triumphantly with some brilliant material and a great show.  His honesty, (combined with a cunning slide show) made the comedy very accessible, even to a relatively sober audience, who responded very well to Mike's story of rehabilitation.  It might sound somewhat cringe-worthy on paper, but I promise you it worked, and may even change some of your views on the world of drug abuse, who knows.
