This is exactly right. - Paul
Seems like every 6 months or so - maybe once a year - there is a debate about rape jokes. Here’s how it goes:
A dude tells jokes about rape or deals with hecklers in way that includes rape. A woman hears these jokes or is the heckler. She publicly states that she is upset or didn’t like the joke…
SPEAKEASY WITH PAUL F. TOMPKINS: SIMON HELBERG
The Big Bang Theory star discusses his career as an outlaw cocktail pianist, being bullied as a black belt, and more.
Then, I test his knowledge of his own Big Bang character with a quiz. He does all right.
SPEAKEASY WITH PAUL F. TOMPKINS: AARON ECKHART
I chat with big-deal movie and stage actor Aaron Eckhart about Heath Ledger, the evils of green screen, and giraffe photos.
I also ask him to do stuff that I am somewhat surprised he does.
AUSTIN, TX: This Friday. Two shows. Me. Superego. LIVE.
That’s all you need to know.
I beg your pardon, there is actually some more information that you need to know. Times and location, things like that. I apologize for my presumptuousness. ANYWAY.

One of the great joys of my professional life is forcing Busy Philipps to break on stage. - Paul
Largo | Thrilling Adventure Hour | 05.04.13
Busy Philipps trying very hard not to laugh at Paul F. Tompkins and the voice he chose for his character in Sparks Nevada: Marshal from Mars.
All I wanted to do was just hang out here on weekends, just to unwind and chill out— watch a dog get neutered, a kitten take a pill. Maybe see a hamster get thrown in the trash. Then one day this guy said, Hey, wanna try something wild? Well, he took me to a different animal hospital, a much more intense one, and it. Was. A RUSH. Have you ever seen a rhino get a tonsillectomy? Ever seen a giraffe hooked up to a dialysis machine? Man, it’s like nothing else. Now I need more and more and I’m out of control. I’m watching crocodiles get skin tags removed like 5, 6 times a day. Oops! Somehow I died from this? Now I’m in heaven with all the trash-can hamsters! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES, KIDS!
Pleased to be included in this! - Paul

Here is a fun thing in which I got to participate! The very lovely Jason Klamm was kind enough to invite me onto his fantastic podcast Comedy on Vinyl where, normally, people way more funny and articulate than I am talk about their favorite comedy records. I wanted to talk about PFT so I picked Freak Wharf, since it’s a nice lead-in to the all the parts of Paul’s comedy that inspire me artistically (I talk about his podcast as well, and most of his artistic/comedic output, really).
Anyway, listen here if you want and tell me later if it sounds okay—there’s no WAY I can listen to this myself! Hahaha… heh… gulp
