I'll second the recommendation of "Swimming to Cambodia". I liked it
very much. And as for sitting at the desk, in the movie, the desk was
got at various angles and with various lighting effects that added to
the monologue.
I saw him once in Austin, in 2000. We had tickets to see him last
spring, but first we couldn't make the date, so we gave the tickets to a
friend; then he couldn't make it to Austin, so it was indefinitely
postponed and we got the tickets back; then it was altogether cancelled,
so we didn't get to see him at all, and now we never will. :(
