Summary
Comedian/Writer Ed Crasnick (The Mental Health Comedy Show)was lucky to begin doing standup in San Francisco at The Holy City Zoo. He was even luckier having the opportunity to see Robin Williams and bring him on stage. He was not as lucky to have someone from group therapy recognize him at Comedy Day in Golden Gate Park.
