My Morning Headache

Comedy is not always funny

After the Mohawk, I headed to Mess With Texas 2 to see their comedy acts. This is when I go off on a tangent to talk about how much I like the fact that SXSW Music is expanding to showcasing more Comedy and DJ acts between music acts. OK, not much of a tangent. I'm done now. Mess With Texas actually dedicated a whole stage to comedy acts for most of the afternoon. It was awesome. Oh wait... except for the really terrible acts. And by terrible, I'm specifically talking about Paul F. Tompkins. Fuck that guy. How does he get paid to be funny when all he does is piss me off whenever he opens his mouth?!? In fact, I don't think opening his mouth is actually required to piss me off.

Hard and Phirm did their thing.


Brian Posehn was the real star of the afternoon. He lost his voice earlier in the weekend but still tried to do his act. He gave up after a few jokes, even though he totally didn't need to. Luckily, his jokes took on a new kind of "fucking hilarious" when he decided to have Eugene Mirman interpret his jokes.



Human Giant was the tasty whipped topping to my steaming pile of continuous laughter (except when Paul F. Tompkins showed his unfunny fucking face).
