The original plan was to write about the low-budget space operas and black-and-white noirs he geeked out about at the time-until he looked at old calendars and started drawing connections between films he watched and jobs he had. Ostensibly a follow-up to Oswalt’s first memoir, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, Silver Screen Fiend is part autobiography and part love letter to the classic movies he gorged on while breaking into the L.A. On January 30, he’ll unleash his nerdy blitzkrieg of standup at the Pantages Theatre in Tacoma, and on January 31, as Seattle Arts and Lectures Hinge series, he’ll discuss his new book Silver Screen Fiend with The Simpsons producer and writer George Meyer at Town Hall. But he clearly wasn't scared off by that crowd of-what he calls in the bit-“the drunkest human beings ever seen,” as he's booked his return trip to our neck of the woods at the end of January for a double dip of comedy and literature. Patton Oswalt’s 2012 performance at Tulalip Resort and Casino was such a delightfully sauced mess that the story became a 10-minute bit on his most recent standup special, Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time.
