 Dave Hill
Do not dare disrupt Dave Hill’s stories, as he begins his show with a monologue about a character in his neighborhood, read off a piece of paper, as he means business and isn’t trying to be funny as he shoots glances at any audience distractions.
At times it appears when Hill plays what hopefully is a version of himself, rather than the real thing, that his comic viewpoint comes from another planet, as in a “commercial” featured in his show where a frolic turns grisly.
At other times though, Hill’s humor is more straightforward, and arguably connects better as a result, as with a short film made during fashion week in which no one he interviews there realizes Kofi Annan and John Mark Carr are not fashion designers.
