I will pay $70 to say Heynong Man to four very, very tired people.

$70 for meet & greets?  The NYC one was a merch table so you technically paid but they'd sign your normally-priced tshirt/hat.

Keep in mind that's 70 AUD so like 25 bucks in real money.

They don't say hate it, as far as I remember in the first best of they said they enjoyed meeting the fans but there was always a few weirdos who said something awkward (like the guy telling Lauren he didn't like her Characters special). They also said the nice fans far outweighed the weirdos but the awkward stuff is just more memorable. And Scott just seems to me to be someone who flies under the radar as far as his fame so it's probably still weird when someone approaches him (like how he said he took 4 fan photos over 4 days at ComicCon but Zooks had to have a no photography policy to be able to do anything there). Weird that they're charging for the meet and greet but that might not be in their hands.

To be fair, charging for the meet and greet might be a way of trying to weed out some weirdos and get just the die hard fans. And to make some money.

i heard a story about Aukerman literally turning his back to a comic who approached him backstage at some event. the way I heard it they had worked together in the past (comic maybe did a comedy death-ray spot or something) and Scott just turned around and pretended not to hear them lol

SoupyTwist posted:PFT is a class act, though. Seriously. I've never really been interested in meeting and greeting any kind of celebs, but a few years ago after a live show in NYC I was waiting for a friend in the lobby of the theater and PFT was just hanging around and talking to fans. Seemed super engaged and present, really seemed to care about the conversations he was having, not trying to speed through it or brush anyone off. Just kind of exactly what you'd want. Though, this was before CBB really blew up (weeks after tickets were released in NYC I got $15 tickets to every show!) so maybe he was just bored. Scott was also around, but definitely seemed pretty disconnected. I think at the time I chalked it up to his stage persona and assumed he was being intentionally aloof. I'm sure fans are 10x more insufferable now, though. Can't blame any celeb for not wanting to talk to a fan and just hear them say "Heynong, man!" over and over again and ask why continuity doesn't quite add up.

Makes sense, based on my brief observation. Though I always take it with a huge grain of salt whenever anyone thinks they were snubbed by a celeb. Anyone with a modicum of fame has to deal with so much bullshit day-to-day that it must be a nightmare trying to be especially nice to everyone you ever see. Also, I always wonder how Lauren and Scott came to know each other. Her early I4H episodes made her sound like she was a total outsider to that crowd, and it took a couple of appearances there to make her mark. Did Scott discover her through that, Wild Horses, or did she ever do CDR/CBB stage stuff? feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Aug 27, 2016 |

The Melbourne tour ep is great, but PFT missed the best bit about Harold Holt , they named a public swimming pool after him.

I'd imagine he met her at UCB and then gave her a shot on the podcast. She had a pretty earlyish first appearance CBB podcast as the girl who went to Italy for a semester so she could have sex with Five Guys Burgers.

Most recent killed it so you can't go wrong there. Man it sucks that it felt like Neil was only on for about 10 minutes but he kept everyone in absolute hysterics. I don't know what it is about that guy, but he makes such simple sounding things so goddamned funny. Show has generally been pretty great recently to be honest.

Slightly broad question for the thread, how are all of the things that our well-liked improvvers have been plugging on all the podcasts lately? I take it the reality show Seeso thing wasn't super good? And I like Cameron Espositio quite a lot, so I've been meaning to check out her sitcom, but I haven't heard any buzz, good or bad... And then there's that Mike Birbiglia movie ABOUT improvvers? Sinteres posted:The recent Todd Glass episode was incredible too.

The cultish nature of improv really gives me the creeps, so hearing improv comics discuss the film was unnerving. The movie veers into it sometimes, but improv is just the setting to explore more universal experiences of failure/success. It's funny and heartbreaking.

Yeah I was lucky my local indie had it in for a week, if you're into the behind the scenes nature and emotional aspect of it all then you'll like it. Don't expect to like the characters as much as you like the people portraying them, though.

Esposito' Take My Wife was screened at JFL Montreal (even though we don't get Seeso - an exec I asked said maybe by end of year) with a q+a including Cameron, Rhea, Scott, PFT, and Braunger. I'd day it exceeded my expectations! Will watch it. It was sharp, and had a fresh POV.

I think it's being unfairly talked about as "the improv movie" though. It does really encapsulate the improv world well, but its messages are universal and I think anyone who has been a part of an organization or community and cared deeply about it can relate heavily. Hell, even anyone who has been part of a friend group can completely relate to the film. I found Todd's camping show to be really boring and disappointing, I've enjoyed some episodes of Harmonquest on Seeso - PFT really helped suck me in on the first ep.
