Kasper Hauser are one of the most acclaimed sketch comedy groups in the nation. They've won the prestigious Herald Angel at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, appeared on Comedy Central and This American Life, and are the authors of three books. Their podcast features audio, video, and visual comedy.

The other day, Mike Birbiglia called me. It's always a pleasure to hear from Mike, who's just as nice a guy in real life as he seems on stage, but in this case, he had a specific issue that needed addressing.
He'd just heard Kasper Hauser's This American Life parodies. His question was simple: "Are they as funny in real life as they are on these audio bits?"
Yes. They are.
"So, do you think they might want to open for me in San Francisco?"
Yes, I'm sure they would.
"Do you have their number?"
Yes, I do.
And it was settled.
Kasper Hauser are opening for Mike at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on October 19th.
Be there, or be square.

The Iranian State-funded english-language TV network Press TV is currently reporting that Kasper Hauser, the noted "virtual reality 'terrorist' group," of "cyber hackers" have plans to "circulate President Barack Obama's private text messages."
The folks at Press TV apparently only made it to the third paragraph of this story from "the far-right US television network" Fox News.
I'm disappointed, because that means they probably missed these awesome (and shocking!) excerpts from the book.
The book is out this week from Little, Brown, though. They got that right.
Rob from Kasper Hauser was interviewed by All Things Considered host Robert Siegel today about one of KH's two new books, "Weddings of the Times."
Noted humor publication The Wall Street Journal just published a lengthy story about one of Kasper Hauser's two (count 'em - two) forthcoming books, "Obama's Blackberry."
This is how Rob from Kasper Hauser describes their writing process: "It’s kind of like four clowns driving a clown car and each one has a steering wheel and at any time two of them are sad and there’s no food.”

They even get a comment from Joe Biden's press representative. Apparently, the book isn't funny, because Joe Biden would never actually ask the President if he can leave at 4:45.
