Most people know Tim Heidecker from his brilliant Adult Swim series ‘Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job!’ and ‘Tim & Eric’s Bedtime Stories.’ While it’s easy to use colorful adjectives to describe his brand of humor, it’s even harder to define it.

He’s an everyman that blends a sort of slobbish machismo with the mind of a stoner philosopher, but there is also something sinister about his wit and irreverent spin on, well, everything. Like every great comedian, Heidecker doesn’t identify himself as one. His role in Rick Alverson’s 2012 film The Comedy proves Heidecker is a brilliant, natural actor with an ability to show a haunting, dispossessed vulnerability that encapsulates a very distinct ennui and disillusionment belonging to the comedown between youth and middle age.

Tim Heidecker shares the video for his new single, "Work From Home," off his forthcoming solo record, In Glendale (out 5/20 on Rado Records). "Work From Home" presents a melancholy Tim, wandering around his (presumably Glendale-based) home, passing a variety of insane vignettes, hoping for a bit of peace and quiet. Written and directed by Austin Kearns, the single-shot video features obtrusive characters, house crashers, winos, stoners, and even Tim's label boss and Foxygen songwriter Jonathan Rado.
