    Puddle the Clown made me feel like he was the only normal one there.

    I was at this show. So wonderful to revisit it! Truly, Puddles the Clown's appearance was the single most David Lynchian experience I've ever had. The entire show was top-notch. Thanks for posting!

    Kristen Schaal and Maria Bamford feel like two people that reminds you of the other person and it's exciting when they meet or get together.
