Spaulding Grey is one of the great monologists/raconteurs.

Vhs video is available of his one man show called "Swimming To Cambodia."

A search of Amazon or someplace may turn up a dvd or two.

Swimming To Cambodia was filmed by Jonathan Demme in a small
experimental theatre in New York. I don't recall from my last
viewing of it if he even used any notes. It's loosely about how
he got hired and worked on the film The Killing Fields.

Grey died during the past year. It was a cover story on New York
magazine.
