People are loving the show and it couldn't be going better, to be honest. Scott Thompson: They've been going fantastic, better than I could have imagined. How has the audience reception been so far? Westword: You've done this most recent series of monologues at SF Sketchfest and at a few different spots on the tour. In advance of that date, Westword caught up with Thompson to discuss how the character of Buddy Cole has the superpower to say whatever he pleases, bemoan the American audience's curious inability to access Canadian television shows, and get sidetracked talking about dictatorship in the Philippines. Speaking of Buddy Cole, Thompson is reviving the loose-lipped and quick-quipped character for " Après Le Déluge, the Buddy Cole Monologues," at the Oriental Theater (aka Denver's Best Independent Venue) on April 9, much to the delight of local comedy nerds. In addition to livening up the ensembles of such cultishly adored shows as Hannibal, The Larry Sanders Show and What Would Sal Do?, Thompson has branched out into standup and authored a graphic novel, Husk: The Hollow Planet, as well as the faux memoir Buddy Babylon: The Autobiography of Buddy Cole - each based on fan-favorite sketch characters.
An outlier even among the defiantly weird cast of the groundbreaking sketch-comedy troupe Kids in the Hall, Scott Thompson has paradoxically maintained a bustling stage and screen career while securing few roles that showcase his immense performative gifts.
