John Edward Szeles (September 9, 1958 – February 22, 2022), better known as The Amazing Johnathan was an incredible comedian and magician combined into one. I grew up watching his specials on Comedy Central and instantly fell in love.  This keeps me from streaking. He had been diagnosed with a terrible heart condition (cardiomyopathy) in 2007 and continued to perform despite his issues. He performed with a great assistant that would play a complete bimbo in a smart way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6P1QRqFeww Anyways, please share your memories of this guy I thought he was very funny.

I knew it was coming. Kept hoping meth and Mexican stem cells would keep his heart beating hard enough until they found a heart donor. gently caress, another lovely thing in an already lovely day in an already lovely week.

He had three competing teams of documentarians doing movies about him on account of being high on meth all the time. Two documentaries were released as a result, watch them both.

I don't honestly believe he's still alive but faking your death on Tuesday, 2-22-22 seems like an Amazing Jonathan thing to do. RIP man

RIP man He also seemingly was selling his act and character at the end of his life, so don’t think he’s still alive if you see somebody dressed like him doing his act on YouTube or whatever.

Based on the link posted in the op alone, cocaine was 100% a contributing factor. He's in a better place probly. Where you don't come down off cocaine edit: i posted that before seeing him rail the beaker of powder lol come on
