I have learned more from Paul Mooney than any other comic I have ever known. He loved me. He confided in me. He trusted me. At times he Relied on me and I will FOREVER love him. Both being from Oakland, CA. we had Way more than comedy in common. As you swipe thru these pictures, these are only just a FEW of the memories we shared. He’s the first person to put me on stage @carolinesonbway in NYC when they wouldn’t even Book me. He appreciated the woman I am and the brand of comedy that I do and told me to Never change for ANYONE! We were a Very dynamic duo. When my name was revealed the other day on the front of The Comedy Store wall, it was His face on the shirt I wore to pay homage to The Great one. Where ever they have his service I will be there but, he will live in my Heart FOREVER😢‼️As he used to say, “There are Many stars, but only One Moon” RIP to MY FRIEND, the Great Paul Mooney.”
