Around the same time, another comedian with a tendency for overindulgence, veteran comic and former attorney Greg Giraldo, made a similar decision for himself. The pair shared a manager, and that manager suggested that the two comics work together, since they could theoretically help each other navigate this new road of sobriety.
The two would speak virtually every day, except on days when Giraldo was otherwise occupied. Because while Joyce remained sober, Giraldo did not.
Sadly, Joyce says he was not surprised when Greg Giraldo died this past September, at the age of Comedian Jim Norton knew Giraldo for about fourteen years, including several where they worked together on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. He had a very, very fast mind, which meant he was very hard to argue with, because on top of being funny, his mind would adjust very quickly. We used to always talk politics at the Cellar, and in a political discussion he always knew what he was talking about.
If you had a good point, he always had something just as smart or smarter to counter you with. He was a really brilliant guy. That dude could explain to you the root cause of the Boer War for forty-five minutes. He just knew everything. But he had a brilliant comic mind, and he was completely unafraid on stage. I knew that I was never gonna hear anything sold softly. I see your point.
