Human Giant on Peter, Bjorn and John, MTV, and Heroin
Human Giant will appear tonight Tuesday, April 1st at the Paley Center For Media at 6pm for a measly $10.00.

Rob Huebel and Aziz Ansari: The ones with hair.
"One time, we were doing a festival, and we were supposed to open up for Peter, Bjorn and John. And Peter Bjorn and John got really mad at us. And they beat up Paul [Scheer], and then they raped him—in their tour bus."
This whole comedy mixing with music scenes is pretty new to me. You used to have your two-drink-minimum comedy clubs and Lollapalooza '92, which had Ministry. And Ministry; well, they’re no laughing matter. If memory serves me correctly, LP92 was the first time I saw a young girl with black eyeliner spit on someone, then laugh about it—clearly not “comedy” as we've come to think of it. The point is they were separate worlds.
In the Eugene Mirman-era, the funny ha-ha thing is regular on music bills, with sketch comedy troupe Human Giant—Aziz Ansari, Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer—having had success working music angles into their repertoire, most notably with last May’s 24-Hour MTV Marathon.
I sat down with Aziz and Rob earlier this month in Austin, where they were largely unimpressed with my 'revelation' that music and comedy are mixing so well. They were also largely unimpressed with my Lollapalooza recollection, but I didn’t mention anything about goth-girl spitting, so maybe it’s my fault. Presentation is everything.
I’ve been really interested in your careers over the last few years.
Rob Huebel: Are you being sarcastic?
