All this week I will be covering my sweep of Brushes with the awesome comics I met at this year’s Moontower Festival, mainly at the after party which was held at some hotel on Congress with Netflix.
First up, the incredibly funny and loved Scott Thompson! You may know him for being a core member of The Kids in the Hall, Hank’s PA on The Larry Sanders Show and his voice work on Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Simpsons. He was in Austin doing some Buddy Cole monologues. Sadly, I didn’t get to see any because everyone was scheduled during other showcases I went to. He does tour at comedy clubs so I asked him to be please come back. I thought Scott would be my height too. The biggest surprise, he’s quite shy in person. What else? I let him know I loved his work and I’m glad he’s feeling better; he battled cancer within the last decade. The guy is a Canadian treasure!
One down. Four to go!
