Wake_Up_and_Smell.jpg
Before Eric Bogosian needed real money, he was this performance artist/stand-up comic/monologuist/writer guy known mostly to New Yorkers. Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll (1991) is probably the best example of Bogosian's ability to fuse all of his scary talents into a spare one-man performance, but I've had a devil of a time finding the recording on DVD (Luddites can watch the show on VHS). The next best thing is the bluer Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001); however, I can only vouch for the live performance, seen at Chicago's Park West venue in the waning months of the 20th century.

A bonus funny: Bogosian gets uppity with a fan and reviews his own work at Netflix.
