At 87, Rickles delivers staying power By Julie Sprengelmeyer Journal Inquirer Journal Inquirer |
<!-- (START) Pagination Wrapper --> <!-- (START) Pagination Content Wrapper --> Forgive Don Rickles if the king of insult comedy dipped a bit into nostalgia during his most recent stand-up show.
Those expecting the comic who would dart across the stage to interact with the crowd might come away disappointed. But for the quick-witted Rickles, who turns 88 next month and stands tall on a career that spans roughly 55 years, perhaps some looking back is in order.
The show this weekend at Foxwoods Resort Casino opened with Frank Sinatra tribute singer Michael Martocci. Rickles and the late Sinatra were longtime friends, and Rickles credits Sinatra with helping launch his career.
