I heard from a source working for him that he's in town for several weeks working on a movie... something dark, maybe titled "Bad Daddy." Eew.

According to the PI he is in town with Bobcat Goldwait shooting what sounds like a tremendously unfunny movie where he plays a character who's son dies in a masturbation accident and he fakes a suicide note to cover up the embarrassing truth--hilarious!

As they say, shit's in the PI.

Did anybody see him on Whose Line with Wayne Brady a few years back? It was MAGICAL.

SLOG ought to institute some kind of limit for how many lines an entry can take on the main page, or how many images can be included in one. This shit is at least 1/4 of SLOG right now.

Star Fuckers.

Maybe he's in a town for a Herpes Benefit...

isn't the film titled "world's greatest dad"? it's not about wrestling or undercover cops, though.

Yes, he is in town shooting a movie, they have been shooting at a school in Wallingford and will be in Seattle for 25 days!

Though to be honest, I'm totally putting on my resume that Robin Williams and I have shared the same stage...just not at the same time...

Face Off is pretty solid. I've seen one Laff Hole show (their last at CHCAC) and Face Off was definitely the highlight. That and the rats crawling on the rafters.

I hope i am not alive/conscious if i am ever in a theatre while Patch Adams II is showing regardless if the line "short bus orgy" is used.

Is it weird that he seems to have shaved his arms? Is it weird that I noticed that?

His arms are shaved because he recently played Barbara Bush in Oliver Stone's production of W, the George W Bush biopic...

@4 - it's called a spill, and the way editors get back at us is NOT to use it, just to stick it in our face in a passive agressive kind of way.

Ross Parsons is hilarious, with a capital "hilare". He's never not made me laugh.

ROBIN WILIAMS MUST BE STOPPED. SHAME ON YOU FOR ENCOURAGING HIM.

I'm tickled that Brendan thinks the stuttering joke is my best, I think he's the first. The whole show was tight, everybody was on their game, and Robin was a supernice guy, throwing props my way during his set. This made my 21st bday one for the ages.

I'm a local who tried out for the movie as talk show host, "Dr. Lori". The audition (just my lines & imagining Williams crying in seat next to me as script says) is the first video on my Youtube link below. The rest of the spots are dedicated to "In The Motherhood" discussions including a WARNING about keeping bags of baking soda in one's minivan glove box as one mom was going to do! I'd love to work with Robin Williams!

I was there, and was just as surprised as anyone else. FTR (this needs to be cleared up), the "short bus orgy" line was spoken by the man in face-off.... that man was Jesse Case, one of my favorite performers there. He is a hilarious dude.

He also had the Gestapo comment. He is the reigning Face-Off champion.

Ross Parsons is pretty damn funny as well.

Ross - you ROCK! Happy Birthday!

The woman in the face off was Jessica Strauss and she is the one who said, "Short bus orgy." She was a noble oponant for Jesse Case! I thought she was going to pull it off! Robin could not have been nicer! He came to the show with Morgan Murphy, who is a friend of Ross Parsons, the birthday "boy". The whole show was awesome!

But the same Robin must stop his act.

Anyway thanks for insightful post with
excellent pictures.

Brendon, maybe next time you can get the names of the people involved in the face off instead of reporting them as "Man" and "Woman." That IS your job as journalist, am I correct?
