I don't think it's still active but there used to be a group here in Los Angeles called the New York Alumni Association. It was an association of former New Yorkers that assembled once a year for a big party and a show. I went one year as a guest. The affair was held on the grounds of Beverly Hills High School and they had hot dogs and pizza and other delicacies from New York, then there was a big ceremony honoring some famous person from New York.
It was at this event that I met Dave Barry, a longtime stand-up comedian who I knew from his appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and other programs. I also knew him as an uncelebrated cartoon voice actor. Barry didn't do a lot of work in animation because his stand-up career took him away from Los Angeles for weeks at a time so studios were hesitant to hire him to voice recurring characters. But when he was in town, Warner Brothers often hired him for its cartoons. He was an impressionist and whenever you heard Humphrey Bogart in a Bugs Bunny cartoon, it was probably Dave Barry. You heard him in other cartoons, as well.
That day I met him, Barry was about to play Vegas. I was heading there a few weeks later so I got an invite to go see him and to hang out with him between shows. Very nice, funny man. I wrote about him here when he passed away.
Here's a video from one of his appearances at the New York Alumni Association. This is the kind of thing he did on stages for around forty years. I always thought he deserved more respect from historians of comedy…
