His brand of humour just didn't resonate me like it did with others. However, there was something touching about the emotional tales he incorporated into his stand-up routine. They felt personal, relatable, and authentic. That was my perception at least until it was revealed by a New Yorker exposé that these heartfelt stories were, in reality, utter lies.
