Why crowd work, though? Isn’t that old-fashioned schtick? Again, when done right, it can be hilarious. And Kasher is better at it than almost anybody else I’ve ever seen. I try not to quote press releases at length, but the one forgets to the heart of why this kind of comedy can work when done well, so let’s take a gander at what it has to say, okay?
Often maligned as a lazy move, or something designed to kill time during a set, crowd work is not acknowledged as the elemental part of the stand up art form that it is. Or, perhaps that’s because many have only been exposed to hacky or lazy crowd work. To see a master at work is, as Moshe claims in his new album,, akin to seeing a jazz great go off the page and do a solo.
Extending that jazz metaphor, if Todd Barry is the Ornette Coleman of crowd work, than Kasher is the Albert Ayler—more soulful, more passionate, more ecstatic. Or something. I just wanted to reference Albert Ayler. Cut me some slack, here, I’m no Nat Hentoff.3. Break Me Off A Lil’ Sumthin7. Regional Burning Man10. The Wedding Night You’ve Always Dreamed Of
