David Bowie does stand-up comedy. Seriously.

UPDATE: Tragically this was proven to be false. Oh internet, you can’t let me have anything wonderful, can you?
Just a minute ago, David Bowie tweeted a link to his stand up routine from a benefit. He talks about a noisy neighbor trying to play “Rebel, Rebel” on guitar and his troubles making pumpkin pie. What’s next, guys? Will Patton Oswalt put out the best album of the ’10s?
Listen to David Bowie’s standup routine
(and of course, I’m always open to the idea that this is not actually David Bowie but a good impersonator. Either way, it’s captivating)

The PodOmatic link is http://www.podomatic.com/profile/edschrader so I’m thinking it might be Ed Schrader rather than David Bowie. But what do I know?

And he also talks about making a good reuben and a grilled cheese — Bowie is a staunch vegetarian.

Wait … this might actually be Bowie? This convinced me — http://edschrader.podomatic.com/entry/2010-04-06T12_33_57-07_00

Same, actually. That one about the rumor is what convinced me to run it (along with the fact that it came from Bowie’s twitter).

It is a mystery…

To me it sounds like a really good impersonator. I somehow actually think Bowie himself would be more amusing. Also, I am wondering if that is really Bowie’s account. It does not appear to be a verified account, for what that’s worth.

Like I said, Ed Schrader — http://www.avclub.com/articles/update-a-fake-david-bowie-tries-his-hand-at-standu,45489/

Really good impersonator? This sounds nothing like Bowie.
