[edit] Greg Giraldo's final performance
On September 24, 2010, Greg Giraldo performed his last comedy stand-up routine at the Stress Factory, and was scheduled to perform the following Saturday and Sunday as well.[1][2][3] However, the next day, Giraldo overdosed on prescription pills in his New Jersey hotel room, and then, all the other shows were cancelled.[4] Although there are over 700 videos of recorded past events and shows from the Stress Factory on YouTube,[5] the Stress Factory has removed any footage of Greg Giraldo's previous shows that happened before the incident.[6][7][6] On October 3, 2010, TMZ.com posted a video on their web site of his final performance at the Stress Factory.[8]
