On Cinema Live! is the beloved live stage adaptation of the cult-favorite web series On Cinema at the Cinema, starring Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington. The show has developed one of the most devoted and passionate fan bases in comedy, built on years of absurdist humor, satirical film criticism, and an ever-expanding fictional universe.
Tim Heidecker is best known as one half of the groundbreaking comedy duo Tim & Eric, creators of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! on Adult Swim. He is also a prolific musician, actor, and writer whose work spans television, film, and live performance. His deadpan delivery and commitment to character make him one of the most distinctive voices in alternative comedy.
Gregg Turkington is a comedian, actor, and writer who portrays the character "Neil Hamburger" — a fictional lounge comedian — in addition to his role as Gregg on On Cinema. He has appeared in films including Ant-Man and Entertainment, and is widely regarded as one of the most inventive and committed performers in underground comedy.
Together, Heidecker and Turkington have built the On Cinema universe into a sprawling, multi-season saga filled with running gags, fictional feuds, multimedia elements, and deep-cut callbacks that reward longtime fans while remaining accessible to newcomers.
