Having watched the comedy stylings that Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim have perfected over the past decade, I thought the interview with Heidecker might turn into some nightmarish journey into the subconscious.
But there were no horrors involved at all. Turns out he’s just a guy who cares about making people laugh and eating good crumpets. And if he’s as good at the latter as he is at the former, he’s going to be eating a lot of crumpets while he’s in town.
Heidecker and Wareheim return to Seattle for their 10th Anniversary Awesome Tour, which is hitting the Moore on Saturday, August 5. So I swallowed my fear and chatted with Heidecker about the aforementioned crumpets, how his work has evolved over the past 10 years, and why he and Eric are nothing like U2.
