I chat with Mike Carrozza about Kyle Kinane, how comedy as art and the way the internet has made people think heckling is okay and how uncool that is. Check him out in Montreal or featuring for Kyle at the Vermont Comedy Club July 18th to the 20th. If you can't make it to Vermont do yourself a favour and pick up Mike's album Cherubic.
Heckling is an art form.
It's not a very appreciated art form, but it is still a creative vocation deserving of our attention and respect. Unfortunately, it's also one of those amorphous, pretentious art forms. You know, like jazz fusion or interpretive dance.
When I heard I was going to interview one of the most inventive and wonderfully obscure comedians -- Maria Bamford -- I nearly shit myself. And then I actually shit myself. After I cleaned myself up, I started to prepare for what would be a pinnacle moment in my comedy career.
