Tim Heidecker

Tim Heidecker rolled into this world on February 3, 1976, straight outta Allentown, Pennsylvania. He’s kind of a legend in the weird, offbeat comedy corner of the universe. People mostly know him for his work with Eric Wareheim—they’re basically the peanut butter and jelly of surreal sketch comedy. “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” kicked off back in 2007 and, honestly, it was like nothing else on TV. Totally bonkers, sometimes pretty gross, and always unpredictable. Fans still quote those bits like gospel. He didn’t just park himself in TV land, either. Heidecker’s face pops up in movies, too. Remember “Us” from 2019? Creepy as hell, right? Yep, that was him, showing off his more serious-actor chops, but with that little glint in his eye like he’s always in on the joke. He’s also the creative chaos behind “Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories,” which jumped onto screens in 2013 with that same bizarre, dreamlike energy—think nightmares on acid, but funny. Off-screen, Tim’s been married to Marilyn Porayko since June 2, 2007. They’ve got two kids together, which is wild considering his on-screen persona is like a fever dream come to life. If you’re into comedy that’s a little left of center—okay, a LOT left of center—Heidecker’s your guy. He’s the king of making you laugh and cringe at the same time, never playing it safe, always pushing boundaries. And man, does he keep things interesting.
