Is there any truth to this story about Kirk Douglas's son?

He was doing a stand-up set in, I think The Comedy Store and was taking a portion of heckle. He decided to own up to his parentage and informed the audience, "Hey simmer down, I'm Kirk Douglas's son"

Apparently one person stood up and said "No, I'm Kirk Douglas's son", followed by another who repeated the phrase, and then was picked up by the rest of the audience. It carried on until Douglas Jnr left the stage. It's probably apochryphal, but like so many of those stories I hope it's true.

Can anyone confirm it. Or am I just a mug for believing it could be so?

    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
    • It's my understanding that estate agents are obliged to put forward any offer to the seller made to them by the buyer. The decision to accept us up to the seller.  If you're in a chain and someone in the chain has the brass neck to threaten to pull out at the last minute unless you take their lower offer, you're in a very tricky position and the gazunderer knows that.  It's a really nasty thing to do but a crappy person will do it to save money.  That's why if you can be at the top of a chain by going into rented or some other temporary solution you're in a much stronger position to tell the gazunderer to take a running jump which is very satisfying.
    • Isn't it because any bladed item now needs to sold with a new set of legal conditions (age verification etc) which this forum doesn't have? Even if there's a tool to remove stones from a horses hoof, and a tiny pair of tweezers its still got a blade.
    • Yes, if you think they have been complicit in this. When you say you "had to" accept the lower price from your buyer, was that because of the timing of your purchase?
