I went to see Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black on Friday, and it kind of sucked. "Blasphemer!" you might yell. "You cur, you dog, saying that these wonderful comedians put on a bad show!" Here's the thing: both Michaels had hilarious jokes, but they talked to hecklers waaaay too much. I was a little afraid that was going to happen. When Michael Showalter did his blog tour promoting his new album, his post on The Apiary was about how he thinks hecklers are awesome because they give him an opportunity to get angry. But I didn't go to see him get angry; I went to see him perform funny comedy jokes. And it's not as if putting down a heckler can't be funny (oh good god, it can), but when a comedian constantly interrupts jokes to hold conversations with the audience, it can wreck the energy level of the whole show. Which it kind of did.
Oops.

I'd said I post something else about Kids in the Hall this week. Here's a PSA written by Bruce which a) is the only place I am currently aware of to see Bruce and Anthony Michael Hall acting together and b) remains a pertinent message for the times.
