Dylan Rohde, founder and co-owner of the Backline Theater and organizer of the Omaha Improv Festival, joins us to talk about avoiding the obvious heightening choice, focusing on your scene partner instead of the audience (but still providing the audience with comedy), breaking on stage, and the importance of hiring a coach.

Matt does his classic section, A Lot, and we try a new segment, Philip’s Corner, in which we discus firework safety.

Also, we learn about sub-branches of Green Peace.
