Paul F. Tompkins on the material he’s currently developing: “It’s about getting older and maturing—getting my life together, becoming a grown-up, and a lot of the stuff that goes along with that, like relationships, and my mother dying a couple years ago … Just the things that happen to you.” (March 2010 interview with AV Club)
The material PFT brought to Seattle last weekend included all of the topics he mentions above — including his own mother’s funeral. And it was impressive. Many talented folks can develop a serviceable 30 minutes on the “challenges” of being young, single and mildly neurotic. It takes someone far more mature and skilled to deliver funny, memorable discussions of life’s scariest challenges and saddest moments.
