RIP Mike DeStefano

"Raping a stripper is not really rape. It's like taking extra food from a buffet" - Mike DeStefano

One of the funniest insult comics in New York just died from a heart attack last night. His name was Mike DeStefano and he was a finalist on the last season of Last Comic Standing. He was also a Bronx guy who knew a lot of wiseguys. Really funny guy. Thought I'd mention him, since I really appreciated his comedy and was rooting for him on LCS.

A shame, but I'm not shocked because he was HIV positive for so long. It's almost easy to forget that HIV wears your cardiac system down, even when your HIV numbers (T Cells, etc.) look good.

He was a really nice kid. Not that I really knew him, but I'd seen him perform locally at the Marina del Rey once or twice. We had some mutual friends. I feel really bad about this .
