Owner of a horse and cart! (Much better than) Owner of a grocery cart!

He could have made a living as a stand-up comedian. Bloody hilarius!

His mind is as quick and graceful as his digits; Rick is a blessedly talented man.

Whenever I'm in a bad state of mind, all I have to do is watch a few minutes of Rick's hilarious story-telling... and everything's fine again. Gotta love this guy!

This exact Rick Wakeman use case.

His timing is impeccable. I've seen so many of his solo shows, usually in tiny venues or small churches and he is always hilarious. His piano playing isn't bad either.

"It's not a painkiller but it'll give you something to hold on to".....had me in stitches laughing!!!! The guy is a Legend ^_^

no one comes close to these stories from the old rockers, Rick can easily have been a standup comedian , awesome to see this!!

Hilarious !!! Thank you !!!

Wish I could have heard the songs he was about to play. Whenever Rick opens his mouth you know it's going to be something funny.

I could listen to Rick for weeks. And I can listen to his entire library for months.

Frank Fallows told me a story of how they covered Rick's keyboards in clingfilm before a gig. Frank was the tour manager for Yes and Pink Floyd. He now runs a travel agents.

Thank God for Rick and KZread.

A very funny human being who just so happens to be pretty decent on the keyboards too

He's a good stand-up.

check out the video of his speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony, and check out Chris Squire's video abut the time he met Jimi Hendrix. Hysterical.

I bet John Andersons ears were burning all the way through that!

Met Rick once. He's a very very funny person..

I've co-opted the Viagra story when telling people my experience of getting the Pfzier vaccine. Never fails to get a big laugh.

Wakeman’s gone full on Marsupial

Whoda thunk it. Rick doing a fine stand-up comedy monologue...

I didn't know this until I got on the Internet, but the name on his birth certificate is in fact "John". I think he simply prefers "Jon"--it makes his name a little less conventional.

I prefer the Monty Python type of humor, compared to the Benny Hill type of humor, that Rick has. The rest of the band actually preferred the Monty Python more dopey kind of humor as well. Watched a interview with Squire where he said that.
