Anybody ever see this guy?

From the YouTube commentary:

Charlie Barnett made a name for himself in the late 1970s and early 1980s, performing several shows of raunchy comedy a day at outdoor parks in New York City, most notably in Washington Square Park.

I used to see Charlie Barnett once in a while in Washington Square; all I can say is, it's amazing the stuff you can find on YouTube. And Wikipedia.

Right out there on the edge

I'd seen a tape of him waaaaay back, I recall because, as part of his shtick where he engages the audience, he asked a man in an African American couple if he "went south" and the man vehemently denied it, and he quipped, looking at the woman, "You better, n*****, or someone else will, am I right?" And the crowd cheered. That stuck in my mind, because it was so dirty.
