Thinking about it.

yes. totally
-
Holy shit! They have a live show?!
Thanks for bringing this to a fellow Colorado resident's attention, yesno.
-
Yes. It's fantastic. Even if you don't love the show, seeing it live is pretty amazing. At least it was in 2007 when I saw them.
-
well i guess it's good my friend got an extra ticket for me. I was hesitant and he basically said "well too bad, you already have a ticket!"
-
I'm thinking of going to the New York show. It better be worth it!
-
It's starting up tonight here, I thought long and hard about going - but post holiday funds are telling me to not do it. I know I am going to regret that decision in like a week though.
-
It could best be described as silly, strange and fun.
-
I would definitely agree with Erika that even if you don't love their show, it's a great time. Having a laughing/interacting crowd seems to help make the comedy more accessible. Though a friend of friend's girlfriend got hit in the eye when they threw Papa Johns pizza into the audience, best to keep your head on a swivel.
-
Yeah, I'm most definitely going to that. I didn't even know they HAD a live show.
-
Definitely watch for the Gallagher aspect of the show. My best friend got absolutely nailed with Tim's vomit when he was Casey. I think I actually got a little of Tim's spit in my mouth.
Yeah, don't sit/stand close if you are, by any chance, a germaphobe.
-
Why do no good comedians ever come to Toronto?
I would love to go to this, perhaps its worth a trip to Buffalo.
Come to Toronto good comedians!
-
I hope it is just them doing facial tics for 1.5 hours. Worth it.
-
My girlfriend and I went to their show in Seattle last year, and it was pretty awesome-- she got some of Casey's vomit on her, but we managed to avoid getting hit with the Papa John's. They're coming back around here pretty soon, but I'm broke-ish right now, so I'll probably have to miss it.
-
theyre going to be in phoenix this saturday. im hesitant to go because it will surely be alone. not to mention, i generally steer clear of shows that cost more than $12 to get in- im not cheap, just broke (and an avid merch buyer).
-
I saw their tour bus parked outside the place they played last night on my way to work this morning. It made me sad that I chose not to go, I fail.
-
..and less than a week later.
-
Not even 12 hours. :(
-
I didn't go either, but a friend of mine who is in the know managed to finagle me a pair of Awesome Show sunglasses and James Quall's home phone number.
I genuinely don't know what to do with either of these things, as the sunglasses are for a child.
-
DL Hart gave out his home number recently in some youtube video I saw, so it's probably not an exclusive club Joe.
Those glasses though, meow!
-
I really thought I had befriended an insider. That jerk lied to me!!

clearly you need to find or conceive a child, then put the glasses on them.
that, or put them on a cat.
-
Those glasses are for child clowns.
How much are the tickets to this? You people should be going!!

I think they're like 50 bucks, which is why I didn't go (or possibly 25 a ticket, which is where I got the $50 number in my head since I'd be a +1). Next time they're in town though, I'll be sure and hit you up for a loan, Richie Rich. :D
-
Eh 50 does sound steep. But it's worth 20 or 25 bucks to go see them. I can guarantee you've never seen anything like it live.
-
Yeah 50 sounds insane, you're right. I think they were 25 each plus whatever crap Ticketmaster puts on top. Either way, I would have totally paid 50 a pop to see them if I had the money this week - curse you Xmas!
-
Any Torontonians want to drive to Buffalo?
My friend and I would love to be your travel companions to see this.
We would pay gas and junk.
Let me know.
-
Ok, it was fun. Much nerdier crowd than most music shows, which I'm sure I contributed to.
It was more interesting and wild than funny per se--it's not like I was in pain from laughter as I had been after seeing, for example, Mr. Paul "F" Tompkins. I'd say it was half performance art, half comedy. With a lot of positive vibes!
My ladyfriend who is not the biggest fan of the show liked the live show a lot. I'm not entirely sure if my other friend liked it.
-

Eh money schmoney! So you don't eat for a week! It's worth the malnourishment to be able to witness that lunacy live! Plus, if you go and they're still doing the Papa John's bit you could just try and catch as much free pizza as you can. I mean if you were really smart you'd drop everything and just follow the tour while subsisting on pizza thrown in to the audience.
I'd do it, but I'm real busy.
-
No pizza, but you can grab some free toilet paper.
-

Speaking of Mr. Liebe Hart, this is the scariest thing I saw all Xmas break.

I felt very old at their show. I would have expected an older, more sophisticated crowd to come out for puppets and songs like "Diarrhea," but the room was full of teen-agers!
-
Ha, that was amazing. Thanks Samir.
-
For those who may want to see more of the Junior Christian Science Bible Program, there is an episode of it (haven't watched yet, but it looks like it's a new production, not one of the original public television episodes) on myspleen.
edit: Just had a very quick look at this, and it appears to be Tim & Eric goofing around with D. L. Hart. It may well be funny, but nowhere near as insane as the original series must have been.
-
If I knew nothing about Tim and Eric, and only had this thread to go on, I might think they were a lot like a Gallagher with two scoops of GG Allin thrown in.
Definitely worth the 50.
-
Plus, if you get to meet Tim and Eric (or at least Eric) in person, they seem like really nice guys. At the show I went to, I accidentally spilled a cup of beer (not mine) on a box of t-shirts. So I now have an autographed t-shirt that says "Erika the beer spiller" and is signed by Eric. He took it all in stride :)
That, and they did some bike stunt thing where I got to go on stage and lay shoulder-to-shoulder with Eric wearing a suit made entirely of white spandex while Tim ran around us with a BMX. It was quite surreal.
-

Yeah, don't sit/stand close if you are, by any chance, a germaphobe.
Thanks for the tip! I will be standing with the moms on the balcony, like I did when I saw of Montreal there during their most recent tour. Oh, kids.
-
My favorite moment from seeing them a year ago (other than the story about working with Gary Busey) was when they asked if anyone in the audience liked to make their own funny videos and every single hand in the audience went up.
-
just got back from the show in madison wi tonight - had an amazing time. there was no bmx bit though - they must change it up from show to show somewhat, which is really cool.
-
It completely exceeded my expectations. DJ Douggpound got old pretty quickly but once the actual show started it was really great. There was even a special live appearance by Dr. Steve Bruhle. He gave a lady from the audience a health exam. The clips from the new season were pretty great as well.
