The Chicagoist interviews Joel, Trace and Josh.
And Time Out Chicago has a review of last night’s show. John Scott Lewinski at Wired wisely checks in with Frank, Mike and Bill for a piece about Monty Python. Let me add my thoughts: I was a high schooler in the Philadelphia area in 1973 when the local PBS station, way ahead of almost every other station in the country, began showing Monty Python. I was already a student of comedy, sampling every brand of humor I could find, from the Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin to the National Lampoon and Woody Allen. And then I saw Monty Python. I cannot underestimate the effect on me. It was a revelation. I was a member of a sketch comedy group, and seeing these shows was like finding the comedy Rosetta Stone. Every week I was glued to the TV. In the days before VCRs, I was audio taping episodes so I could dissect the incredibly witty wordplay. All these years later (and isn’t amazing that this group was doing its best work nearly FORTY years ago?), like a lot of nerds, I can recite most of the bits by heart — and I still laugh. Frank Conniff and Cartoon Dump will appear at SF Sketchfest Saturday, Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. at San Francisco’s Eureka Theater. His special guest will be Andy Kindler.
This looks like the only MST3K-related Sketchfest appearance so far. Well, I wish I’d had more notice about this, but if you happen to be in the vicinity of Houston, Texas tonight, Domy Books, 1709 Westheimer, will be showing the Star Wars Holiday Special, complete with RiffTrax commentary. The show starts at 8:30 p.m. and admission is free.
