Tim Heidecker Is Not Trying to Make You Laugh With Folk Album ‘Slipping Away’: ‘My Artistic Life Has Been About Obscuring Identity and Irony’
Tim Heidecker discusses his new album 'Slipping Away,' why he doesn’t use a stage name and why some of his characters are reminiscent of JD Vance.
The prolific funnyman, actor, producer and singer-songwriter sat down with Variety to discuss songwriting, why he doesn’t use a stage name and why some of his characters are reminiscent of JD Vance.

The singular identity is interesting on Spotify, for example, because you have “Slipping Away,” a collection of serious folk songs, next to “An Evening With Tim Heidecker,” which is an intentionally bad hour of stand-up comedy.
