Paul F. Tompkins Thread

[littlegirltree]

So PFT is recording something for Comedy Central at the Laughing Skull Lounge in Atlanta the end of July.

My parents live fairly close to there, so I'm going to road trip it.

They can't even be bothered to spell his name correctly. I'll probably be there despite this. Jerks!

COMEDY CENTRAL TAPING: Comedian Paul F Thompkins will be shooting his Comedy Central Special at The Laughing Skull July 30-Aug 2. Get your tickets now if you want to see an amazing comedian AND be part of a TV audience. That is right, Atlanta's newest and hippest comedy club is where one of comedy's hippest and most popular comedians is taping his Comedy Central Special. Why is that you may ask? Because Atlanta's Laughing Skull Lounge has that much kick-assed-ness! Come see for yourself why this little comedy club rocks like a mother flim flam!

Does anyone know what's happening with the CD recorded at the Lakeshore Theater? I don't think I've heard a word about it since the record-date was announced, and that was 3 months ago.

Yes! What happened to the Lakeshore recordings? I've been wondering this for a while now.

[spriest]

I thought he also recorded something at Largo shortly after the lakeshore chicago shows... but it was different material, more storytelling and some personal stuff. It was mentioned and talked about a bit on the "Comedy and Everything Else" podcast.

Hopefully these are still planned for at least some kind of release and Paul F wasn't unhappy with the quality of recordings or audience or anything.

I would be upset you beat me to the punch with that post, but I'm just so happy Paul's coming back to LA!!!

[gloshi]

Are they selling tickets now to the Largo show or is there a certain amount of time we have to wait as it gets closer to get tickets? Does anyone know?

[Liezl]

Pretty much have to wait and stalk the calendar. August isn't even up, and shows pop up on the fly at Largo.

[Liezl]

looks like the date is up on Largo now.

[gloshi]

Awesome! Thanks for the info Liezl!

From photos and TV, he always seemed like he was a very large man, but then in person, he's normal-sized, so he seems very small compared to how I thought he would look. In BWE promos, all of his guests seemed to completely tower over him. But he's basically around 6 feet tall. He looks large and small at the same time, but he's really quite normal.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that he's an optical illusion. Anyway I enjoy his work greatly!

Sonic Youth the night before and PFT on my birthday. IT DON'T GET NO BETTER.

[AllSussedOut]

Argh... still no word on when we might hear the 87 recordings he's keeping to himself?

Miserly, Paul.

[andrearunge]

I wonder if this guy has a copy of Impersonal?

[Nickflans]

Here's a link to buy tickets for Paul F's October 25 Rivoli appearance in Toronto! You can also buy them at The Rivoli. Or you could just pray for them and it is likely they will appear.

[Bucky_Sinister]

hey, is Paul's "Sexy Bee" bit available through Itunes or elsewhere?

[WhoRadley]

I believe it is on the Comedy Death Ray CD which is available on iTunes.

Thought y'all might enjoy this:

The CD is out now and Paul performs a song called "Devil Doll", where he is terrorized "Trilogy of Terror" style.
