It's Sam Bayne! Not only is he a hilarious stand-up comedian and improviser, he also has a fantastic podcast called "Confused as Usual" (listen at your own risk, if you do so at work you may disturb coworkers with your laughter!)

Ok ok, cheesy intro aside, Sam is an extremely smart person who knows a ton about the history and technicalities of comedy, and I learned so much from speaking with him. Check him out at Rapid Fire Theatre, Grindstone Theatre, The Comedy Strip, and more!
