While I have no groundbreaking source to share, the story is noted on Hartman's wikipedia page.
It's always had a ring of truth to me, as Andy Dick has since been treated like a leper and is drinking himself to death. IIRC, Jon Lovitz cold-cocked Andy over it at a bar. Andy Dick is such a pile of shit, that it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.
From his "one man show" in Boston, early 90's. Awesome DVD, can buy from Amazon, I recommend highly.
For anyone in the community interested in this documentary and the improv scene in general, Nicole appeared on my podcast for a half hour conversation with insight into the L.A. scene, hopes for the documentary, and other stuff. It's worth a listen, and this is a project definitely worth backing. So do it.
Hello, When I wanted to check out writing comedy I went here to look for pilots of comedy TV shows. https://nofilmschool.com/11-great-websites-download-movie-scripts
Another great resource is Masterclasses, I know Judd Apatow has a great series of classes on there. I love to write stand up comedy as well, but I decided on starting off with a series of books of which I just published the first and I'm writing the second now.
I hope the resources help you out. Happy writing and best of luck to you
Get this book. It’s considered the standard for improv which is the basis for much of what we consider sketch comedy. There are many others but this is the OG.

Christopher Moore's Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
I mean, it seems like only a small part of his masterclass is about standup. One video out of ten or so. The rest are things like "Dialogue", "Character", and "Crafting Comedic Storylines".
Funny.
Check out his book by Christopher Moore.
