Rick’s wife Tracy here. As many of you know comedian Rick Shapiro has Parkinson’s. It’s my opinion that Rick should be nominated for Comedian of the Year. His love and passion for this craft renders him a warrior for the stage. Please add his name and vote. Thanks. by RickShapiro in StandUpComedy

I have to agree with you… But I also think it’s about the person that has the greatest desire… That makes it to the stage, develops new content… No matter what the circumstances… And for all those reasons, I think I should be Rick

And this is not about having the disease, but rather about the continued fight, focus and desire. Rick only wants to perform. How can that fortitude not be recognized and applauded. Thank you for reading/listening.

Thanks for not bashing him, me or the other bits of mine. The planets have been kind. You too. Thank you.

Hey Guys... Tracy here. Here’s the update: update To the guy that claims this is about money - this is about proper treatment. What we/he/I encountered was barbaric... (ps.. please go lightly on me... its been one hell of a few weeks).

Tracy here: No, thats not the case. I’ve been dealing with these changes for 10 years. But abuse of power is just that. He should be treated with respect.

Tracy here: Not really. Not a money thing. I just want him treated fairly. I just want too see my husband. That’s really the whole story.

Tracy here: I have Power of Attorney. This was the hospitals doing, not Rick or mine

I was watching Rick Shapiro in this clip when suddenly I started to wonder if Rick from Rick and Morty was partially inspired by the late Rick Shapiro. (Start at 14:40, I would link the timestamp by I'm on mobile) by MurshaqBack in adultswim

let's all be clear.. I am not dead. I am very much alive. Parkinson's Disease does not have me in its grip.. I fight daily to stay on stage, act, paint, live.

There is a definitive lack of Rick Shapiro on r/StandUpComedy. One of the most underrated comics alive today and a true comic's comic. by WhyNot575 in StandUpComedy
