Bumbershoot Overheard at the Bumbershoot Comedy Stages
Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 11:32 AM
I spent a lot of time at the Bumbershoot comedy stages this year, seeing David Cross, Eugene Mirman, Sarah Silverman, Doug Benson, Patton Oswalt, Todd Barry, Reggie Watts, and Pete Holmes (who nearly stole the show as MC, if you ask me—"the fat Val Kilmer," as he calls himself, was hilarious). If you didn't make it to any of the shows, well, here are just a few things that were said over the course of the weekend:
"Hitler would be horrified to get a time machine full of come."
"When I take a shit it sounds like someone who's not very strong unloading drums."
"Genghis Khan was dropping a deuce and put Peter Pan straight."
"Captain Shipwreck, come sail the seas of fun!" (You should know, Captain Shipwreck is a kitten with an eye-patch.)
"God is a 12-year-old boy with aspergers."
"You shouldn't have a voice that reaches millions of people when you're that young and stupid."
"Richard Pryor was in shape because he was doing enough coke to kill a moose."
And finally, regarding Natalie Portman's Shaved Head (an exchange between Doug Benson and Patton Oswalt):
"Was Natalie Portman really here?"
"Whatever it was, it was here yesterday."
"They weren't always called that, they used to be called Lindsay Lohan's Fiery Pussy."
