I actually saw Joe Piscipo perform, in 1989.
I was an usher at Comic Relief III. I didn't work for the theater in question where the event was held, but I did work in Cable Television and volunteered my time.
Piscipo did a reasonably good impression of Bruce Springsteen. He got through a couple of numbers (I yawned) and then ad-libbed, "How does Sprinsgteen do this EVERY NIGHT?"
That's really all I remember of his appearance. That and him dunking his head in a bucket.
It's all he ever was.
