Paul Mooney -- American Rakugo
I loved rakugo, Japanese comedy monologuing making ample use of facial expressions, practiced by comics celebrating their quirks. Big ears. Long face. And such. And yet, some of those comics are very handsome but know how to use their faces to create thousands of Kabuki masks... Their faces add many dimensions to their comedy. I thought Paul Mooney did that. Along with excellent writing. Loved the portraits I saw.
