SHORT TAKES : Birth Pain? Ask Eddie Murphy
<i> From Times Wire Services </i>
NEW YORK —
Eddie Murphy on watching the birth of his daughter: “It was nasty.”
The comedian and film star tried some new material Sunday on the audience at a New York comedy club.
“Are you married?” a spectator called out during the Comic Strip show.
“What are you, my uncle?” the unwed Murphy responded before launching into a discourse about childhood and the birth of his daughter nine months ago.
“I watched it. It was nasty,” he said.
The baby’s mother is model Nicole Mitchell.
