Comedian brothers’ feud is no laughing matter

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are the parents of three grown sons. Our middle son (“Kurt,” age 29) has been in conflict with his younger brother (“Jared,” age 26) for more than a year. Kurt started doing stand-up comedy but still works a day job to pay his bills. Jared now has also started doing comedy. We suspect the disagreement started well before they did stand-up, but now there is name-calling, and both refuse to be in the same room as the other.
