Live Jokes Are Great
Jun 11th, 2007 by Max
Last night at Rififi was a blast. Thanks to everybody for coming out. Besides our already ridiculous lineup, the one and only Todd Barry made a surprise appearance to close the show, and he charmed the crowd despite his decision to throw around the c-word. (It was called for, I think.)
Brian and I showed two videos. The first documented our journey to get back into fighting shape for the show.
We then had such a fun time watching John Mulaney and Sean O’Connor perform that Brian and I got nostalgic about the first half of the show, especially our video. So we decided to debut our new VH1-style talking head persona Braximilian Silfaastri.
After that, Dave Hill, Nick Kroll and Todd Barry all destroyed. I enjoy people who are as good at jokes as they are.
The lovely Anya Garrett was kind enough to take a whole boatload of photos which you can find on Flickr.
I made fun of Brian for not scripting his jokes like a man; ironically, my remarks were off the cuff.
John Mulaney blew our minds with an incredible story about Clinton.
Sean O’Connor hates Bon Jovi exactly the right amount.
The memoirs of Dave Hill will be a bestseller one day.
Dave Hill gave me a totally sweet Dave Hill t-shirt which is not for sale so don’t bother asking.
Nick Kroll got the award for Best Bit about Text Messaging Awards.
I made Todd Barry feel old by saying I grew up listening to his comedy. Deal with it, icon.
The next show is July 8th.
