Comedy Bang! Bang!'s 13th anniversary tour: As the legendary podcast reaches another milestone, one writer puts his past behind him and drags his wife along for the ride.
For Comedy Bang Bang’s 13th anniversary, Scott Aukerman has taken his podcast on the road for the first time since the start of the pandemic. For those who might not know, Comedy Bang Bang is a conversational improv podcast that works not unlike a talk show. Host Scott Aukerman interviews a guest comedian, actor, or musician, after which two to three guest improvisers join the show one by one as different characters.
Taking your significant other to see a live podcast recording can be a slippery slope. Listening to podcasts, at least for me, is often a solo endeavor saved for headphones or the car stereo as part of the daily commute. Podcasts can be very intimate in that way. It’s easy to feel like those charming hosts and their interesting guests are like friends, even though you’ll never meet them.
The show got off to a slow start as Paul F. Thompkins portrayed Brock Lovett, a character whose claim to fame is being the basis for whom Bill Paxton’s underwater treasure hunter character fromis based. While I would have loved to see one of PFT’s more popular Comedy Bang Bang characters, such as Lord Andrew Weber, vigilante crime fighter JW Stillwater, or children’s entertainer Big Chunky Bubbles, it was still extraordinary to see him live on stage.
Finally, Carl Tart hit the stage for the last half hour as Cameo lead vocalist Larry Blackmon. His whole bit is talking in the cadence of how the real Larry Blackmon talk-sings their 1986 hit song “Word Up.” If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up. Tart stole the entire show, literally, by taking a moment to switch stools with Aukerman and singing “Larry Blackmon” over and over to the tune of the CBB theme song.
