Randy Credico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Randy Credico is an American political comedian and activist. Once active on the comedy circuit, including an appearance on the Tonight Show at age 27, he began a seven year campaign against New York state's Rockefeller drug laws, which he thought were too harsh disproportionately affected the poor and minorities. Small changes softening the stiffest penalties were passed in the state legislature, which Credico thought was insufficient. Credico is the subject of the film Sixty Spins Around the Sun, directed by comedian Laura Kightlinger.
