comes up with a list of
today's top-notch tummiers.
A magna-cum-laughter
--:-:?Taduate of the Borsht Belt,
Mr. Lawrence has always
'been a funny guy, even when
his high school classmates in
he Bronx knew him as
Manny Miller.
"Comedy was always it,"
says the 59-year-old Mr.
Lawrence.
– Not that there weren't
other interests as well. "I
, also wanted to dance. I took
'ballet lessons at one time,"
says Mal Lawrence, who had
a Walter Mitty fantasy of
becoming a comedy/dance
man like Danny Kaye.
Mr. Lawrence sidestepped
that ambition when, in the
early '50s, he discovered
what a gas comedy could be.
"I was working at my
. brother-in-law's gas station
and doing comedy for the
customers," he recalls.
The customers couldn't get
their fill. "Business
quadrupled while I worked
there," recalls the comedian.
He teamed up with funny
friend Joel List in the Army,

Broadway fame has
come as he closes
'n on 60.

and the two wound up on the
"Ed Sullivan All-Army
Show" in 1954, each earning
$100.
Mr. Lawrence's earnings
have increased considerably
since, thanks to his pop-
ularity in the Catskills and
in clubs around the country.
If audiences eat up his
humor, much has to do with
his refreshing takes on fress-
-ing, or fervent noshing.
'Do you know what a 'for
dater' bag is?" he asks
devilishly. "That's the bag
. you put the Danish in that
you can't eat now so you can
have it 'for later.' Of course,
later may be a year from
now. But there it'll be."
And there is Mal
Lawrence, making his au-
diences laugh.
"You don't have to be Jew-
ish to appreciate this kind of
humor," says Lawrence.
"All ethnic people and food
-go together."
Happily married for 12
years, and with a puppy
named Midnight as a source
of pride, Mal Lawrence
doesn't mind time going by.
But isn't comedy a matter
of — timing? "Everything is
a matter of timing," says the
comedian whose Catskills
clock is ticking with the
sounds of success. El_
