Jon Bershad (Beige, The Jonoscene) graced us with the craziest opening 15 minutes in the shows history. Not a bad thing. We talk about death (second episode in a row dealing with that). We talk about Instant Gratification, how he looks like some weird 0s villian, and his show, "Zipperface"

Alexis Periera (SWAG) came in and I have to say, i learned a lot about this man. We talked about the moment he realized death is a thing. We talk musical theatre. We talk Neutrino. AND we talk a lot about Blockbuster Video.

Sean Casey (Graceland) and Mark go waay back. Like a whole year back. That's long in improv time. We discuss Arrested Development, Oscar predictions, playing Roller Hockey, and I reveal my true thoughts on the Wire.

Jon Monje (The Jonoscene) is in many ways a legend: He is somehow at every show, he is a great performer, he has a vast knowledge of comedy. In this episode I try to get a better understanding of Monje. It's a fun one

Gusta Johnson (Wicked City) came by to the studio and we discuss the usual stuff but a lot more theatre than comedy. Also, we talk about Horrible films. She teaches me a story i never heard before and we both talk about Andrew Lloyd Webber. Dare I say it? Yes, i do dare. Delightful

Anthony Apruzzese (Curtains, Greasy Lake) shows up wearing a mustard velour track suit and that should've been a warning to what was to come. We discuss a lot. How he grew up just on the other side of the river, the birth of Greasy Lake, how Curtains was at the first Indie Cage Match, and naked Matt Dennie. It's one not to miss.

Kim Kalish is a self proclaimed "Poor-man's Tina Fey", I kind of see it only because she is not Tina Fey. But, she is amazingly funnny lady. We discuss her week on the set of Sesame Street, her move to LA, and her brilliant performance in Cage Match with P.I.G. This is one not to miss.

Matt Dennie (Guthrie, Cool Sh*t/Weird Sh*t) and Mark both label themeselves as Comedic Actors and Improvisers. And both found out they are "only child's" in this episode amongst other things. Matt shares experiences living in LA and working for Olive Garden and the creation of Spooky Ghost

PART 2 OF THE BEST FRIEND SERIES. Mishu Hilmy and Mark met back in 301 at UCB and have been absurdly great friends immediately. And they are quite different but are total peas in a pod. We talk about Purpose, journals, and soothsayers. This is a great one with some fun conflict

Brentt Harshman (The Fire Men, 4 Sexually Attractive Individuals)swings by Astoria on Christmas Eve and we have a delightful conversation. We drink Egg Nog and discuss comedy, being from Florida and then he throws down a huge offer to anyone who improvises with him.
