- [Announcer] What happens to a comedian
when you take away their audience?
This is a show where comedians perform
in an empty theater while the audience
watches from the rooftop.
(audience laughs)
So the comedians have no idea
how the audience is reacting.
- Welcome to 7 Minutes in Purgatory.
(upbeat music)
Please put your hands together for Caitlin Gill
and Bobcat Goldthwait.
(audience cheers)
Alright, whoa.
How're you guys feeling?
- I'm kinda nervous 'cause this audience
is pretty young.
A lot of them weren't even born when I was relevant so.
- Alright, we'll see you guys soon.
7 Minutes in Purgatory is a show
where comedians perform in one room
and the audience watches from a separate room
so the comedians have no idea how the audience is doing.
They're walking into the theater.
They will be performing to 1,000 empty seats.
- [Announcer] Meanwhile, their fellow comedians
will be watching from the greenroom.
- 1,000?
- 1,000, that's a lot of seats.
- Oh boy, I'm very excited for this.
These two are some of my favorites.
- [Bobcat] Hi, thank you very much.
- Thank you, thank you, everyone.
- My name is--
- Bobcat Giblefarb.
- Or Bobscratch Goldfarb.
That's Caitlin Gill.
- I'm Skatelin Kill.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- This isn't much different than the size of audiences
that come out and see me now.
- So, uh.
- We are roommates.
- We're roommates.
- Yeah.
- We're not sleeping together.
- Yeah, no we're not.
- We're not the sexy kind of roommate.
- No, I'm 54 with roommates.
It's all coming together.
This is my year.
(audience laughs)
- I'm 35 and I live in the basement
of the guy from Police Academy,
so it could be worse.
- Let's do some crowd work.
- Hey this guy knows what I'm talking about.
- Where're you from?
(laughing)
- A thing happened to me that I haven't told you about yet.
I saved it for right now.
I'm very excited.
This happened yesterday.
That is true.
That is not a comedic trope.
Yesterday, I was walking up to the Hollywood Improv
and I got the best catcall I have ever gotten.
A gentleman saw me approach and said,
"Girl, you look like Dan Aykroyd."
(audience laughs)
- I don't see it at all.
- Okay, what Ghostbuster do I look like then?
If it has to be a Ghostbuster, which one?
- I would say Harold Ramis.
- Okay, I'll take that.
I'll take it.
- We're really bad at comedy team stuff
because we just reinforce each other.
We don't pick on each other.
- That's true.
That's why our house could never be a reality show.
When we moved in together, people were like,
make it a sitcom.
Have a reality show.
And we can't because of the utter lack of conflict
that exists.
- Yeah, yeah, we get along, all of us.
It wouldn't be like on this week's Bob and Caitlin,
someone eats all the vegan doughnuts.
- No, I bought more vegan doughnuts.
(audience laughs)
We're out of toothpaste!
How could this have happened?
- Oh, actually, check the other drawer.
I bought some.
- Oh, it's right here.
That's great.
Thank you for buying that.
- That would be the cliffhanger of the season.
I can't believe I'm actually looking around
as if there's human beings here.
- I know, it's a hard impulse to stop.
- I got hit by TMZ and I really don't care for those people.
And this little snarky douche bag came up
and he's like, "Hey Bobcat.
"They're rebooting Police Academy.
"Don't you think the original cast should be in it?"
And I was like, "No."
And he goes, "Why not?"
And I go, "Because a lot of us are dead."
And then I said, "If they're going to reboot it,
"they should do what they did to 21 Jump Street
"and make it a comedy this time."
- Mic drop, that mic dropped.
- But they didn't put out the part where I go,
"I don't think it's a good time to be doing wacky movies
"about the police."
And they go, "Why?"
I go, "'Cause the police are killing civilians now."
- Yeah, like at an alarming rate.
Hilarious, right?
- Up on the roof their dying right now.
They love the political scathing humor.
Who's more political, you or I?
- I am inherently more political
because I am a queer female.
- But it's weird to hear you identify as a queer female.
- That's gross.
I don't care.
- I just don't ever--
- I've gotten dude parts hard.
I've gotten lady parts wet.
I've done the whole damn thing.
Life is a buffet.
Eat a wiener.
Have a slice of pie.
They're all delicious.
(audience laughs)
Not true, they all taste weird and like copper,
but get in there.
Have yourself a party.
You know?
- They taste like pennies.
- They do.
Like, tasting a vagina is totally normal
and I think everybody should do it.
And for some reason I'm like, gross,
don't taste a penny.
Like, suck on a genital, that's totally fine,
but don't put a penny in your mouth.
You know how many hands have been on those?
Probably more hands than have been in
whatever vagina you would eat.
- Yeah, that's true.
You never know.
- One would hope.
One would hope that a vagina has not been handled
as many times as a penny.
- Yeah, I don't remember my mother ever saying,
you don't know where that vagina's been.
Get it out of your mouth.
(audience laughs)
- Just slaps it.
- That's weirder than I wanted it to sound.
- That was weirder.
- Alright, we're gonna wrap this up.
- Will you wrap it up for us, Bob?
- Sure, I'll do a true story.
I used to direct the Jimmy Kimmel show
and when I was the director,
what's the band that sucks?
- Nickleback.
- Right, Nickleback.
They might be nice guys, but their manager was a dick
and he came into the booth that I direct the show from
and he goes, "Who's the director?"
I go, "I am."
And then he goes, "Don't shoot Chad profile.
"Only shoot him straight on."
And I go, "Who's Chad?"
He goes, "Our lead singer."
And I go, "Why can't I shoot him from the side?"
He goes, "'Cause he has a large nose."
I go, "Okay."
If you've seen the Kimmel show the band will do two songs
and during the second song the show goes off the air
and during the second song I tell the assistant director
tell me when I have 10 seconds left.
She goes, "Okay."
I'm like, "Camera six, camera four, camera three."
And then she goes, "10 seconds."
And I go, "Shoot the nose."
And seven cameras zoomed in on this guy's nose
and then I made a nose montage.
(audience laughs)
Okay, you've been a delight.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you, thank you, everyone.
(audience cheers)
- Bobcat Goldthwait and Caitlin Gill.
Let them hear it.
(cheering)
- How's the crowd?
- Oh, great.
They're so hot.
- Is it weird totally or like you had fun anyway.
- It's more laughs than I usually get.
It's nice to hear the crew guys in the back mumbling.
