I shot this with director Mark Tiedemann in Germany on a Sunday morning after a commercial shoot. We were talking about the idea in the hotel bar the night before with a couple of German guys and we all said, “let’s shoot it!” Usually when that happens, everyone wakes up and says, “Nice idea, but let’s not.” But we didn’t do that. We shot it in the apartment of one of the German guys, and it took half a day. You can see Mark’s other stuff here.

From Time Out New York:

Tom Shillue

Who he is
A seasoned stand-up, Comedy Central staple and total pro; an unashamedly white-bread, self-described “pathologically positive” Norman Rockwell–kid–look-alike.

What he does
Tours, records albums and specials, yet still focuses on what hasn’t earned him money, i.e., storytelling; makes mountains out of molehills, turning small memories from his Catholic Massachusetts childhood into beautifully crafted tales.

Why we love him
His stories are both sidesplitting and touching, deliciously specific and universally true. He’s the only conservative Republican comedian who’s actually funny. He was in an a cappella group—and isn’t ashamed.

From Portland, Oregon:

“The Moth recently paid a visit to Portland and we were totally on board to participate with NW Documentary for the after show party! Their audio booth was set up as a comfy living room plucked straight out of 1952. I’m sure it put their story tellers at ease. Among the folks who stopped by for a photo was the shows host Tom Shillue! I must say this was another great event!”

Portland with The Moth

This was in the Portland paper after my recent trip there with The Moth. A good review!

The ghost of Garrison Keillor, indeed, hung over the preternaturally easy nature of host Tom Shillue, although he looked a bit more like a cross between a slender Dick Gephardt and Conan O’Brien. Shillue’s humor was broad Caucasian-ethnic: peppered with jokes about how Jews don’t know the difference between Protestants and Catholics, how Italians talk close and funny. I liked him. He was, like Bill Cosby and Ellen DeGeneres and very few others, a humanist comedian un-full of anger. He also reminded me of mid-century Hollywood’s idea of a virtuous small-town mayor, albeit a Catholic one.
