Her jokes were good, but her bespoke insults were better. Once, in a cab headed uptown from the Comedy Cellar to the Comic Strip, she said, “Just try and come at me while I have the mike. Watch what happens next, motherfucker.” She smiled almost wistfully at the thought. She never used the same phrase twice to describe what would happen next, but my favorite variations included “rip the spirit out of his body,” “destroy his whole existence,” and “tear his asshole out through his throat.”
