That didactic tone of prancing around on stage trying to seem cool and trying to seem like you’ve got it all figured out just seems a little stupid to me. Kind of the arrogance and pomposity of thinking that you have it all figured out and you’ve also distilled it into something that you think is also funny, too. What do you find so funny about the idea of the male stand up comedian as bold truth teller? Your 2020 stand-up special, “ An evening with Tim Heidecker,” included faux-Andrew Dice Clay call and response bits. Times: Yeah since you mentioned doing comedy as a character: You posted a 1 2-hour Joe Rogan parody on YouTube. There’s something beautiful and great about it and then there’s Mar-a-Lago down there. I think like everybody, we’ve got mixed feelings about Florida. Tampa seems like it personifies everything about Florida. Heidecker: No, I didn’t know that either but I’m gonna try to get them to come to the show. Like Kenny Chesney kicks off his tours here. Times: I didn’t! I’ve always thought of it as more of like a stadium country town. Did you know that Tampa is the home of Death Metal? We’re trying to get Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel to come to the show. I just learned that from my bass player who’s very excited. Heidecker: I know it as a death metal destination. Why do you think Tampa is the butt of so many jokes? Tim Robinson has made Tampa jokes in his sketches. Tampa is sort of a fascination among comedians. Times: So I guess I will start with Tampa. The interview has been edited for clarity and length. The Times interviewed Heidecker recently so audiences might better understand at least one of those Tims. It’s a part of a tour he’s dubbed The Two Tims. Heidecker also plans to serenade the crowd with his songs from his folk rock records. But that’s only half of what the Tampa audience has in store.
