      Great comedian. Can't donate much but it is worth the attempt just to see this documentary make it. Good luck!

      Jeff,

      Have you asked Howard Stern for funding? I know he was a big fan of Robert. If the money isn't raised, maybe he'd be a good last resort...I wish I could do the whole thing:(

      Good luck with this project. I've always enjoyed his comedy, and I would love to see this documentary when it's completed.

      I really hope this project finds the right set of ears, so this can become a reality. Robert Schimmel is in my pantheon on all-time greats, alongside George Carlin and others. Please, Please find a way to make this documentary.

      Robert Schimmel was truly a comic's comic. He was loved in the clubs. Of all the sad loses to the comedy world of the past decade, Robert is the most sorely missed. Great to see such a tribute in the works!
