Each performer at the marathon was given exactly 20 minutes to perform, Paul F. Tompkins spent 15 minutes of his dealing with a single drunken heckler who encapsulated the attention whoriness of a whole bachlorette party.
The girl in the white shirt kept insisting that she went bowling with Prince and in telling her story, threw in gratuitous details about her vintage shoes, which was met with pitchfork angry boos.. from just from the ladies in the audience.
When asked if she could change anything about her interaction with him, she would insist that he buy her some “motherfucking pumpkin fries”.
Since she had just walked in before PFT’s set and promptly left out the back door after it, she paid $20 to be embarrassed by a comedian.
Well done.
When things like this (Paul F. Tompkins being heckled) happen, I immediately ask, why? It usually doesn’t matter because Tompkins is hilarious no matter what’s happening.
This is a very dumb sketch that I made with Dave Ross and Jake Weisman. Enjoy.
In the new comedy concert film, “Tell Your Friends”, Reggie Watts says that he often thinks that things are going well comedy wise when people comment, “that’s so stupid…” while laughing. I think this sketch speaks to that very dynamic.
This was the moment Eric Appel looked at his phone and realized Osama Bin Laden was dead last night. Sarah Silverman was just about to go on in front of an audience who had not been exposed to the media yet because they were in a marathon comedy show. It took them a while to realize it wasn’t a bit.

OK, the sex stuff weirds me out a little, but there are enough hilarious people on the Morning After to make up for it.

I had the honor of meeting NY Comedian Hari Kondabolu up in Portland at Bridgetown, but I had no idea he spoke so many languages. Also, I thought people that he talks about here didn’t exist anymore.
