Small Town Funny

In which we get to catch up with our buddy Tyler Meznarich, stand-up comic and host of the Take Me Home podcast. Tyler has some advice for you all: Don't be comfortable! Also, we find out that John's mom is a leaky roof...

In which we risk the life of one of America's great young comic voices, April Richardson. We talk Vegas, Bakersfield and vultures. Find more about April at AprilRichardson.com and go get her podcast, Go Bayside!

In which we have our last episode....before we move to the stationary studios of WCOM! We also have a new feature called "Inception." What can it be? Listen and find out!

Katerina is in the continent/country of Australia presenting her amazing show "Feta With the Queen." By all accounts she is taking the Melbourne underground by storm! In honor of her journey, we are reposting her episode this week. Our first rerun, folks!

In which John sits down in a bar with his fellow competitors, Virginia Wallis, Jenny Chalikian, & Gretchen McNeely to rehash the night. We miss Michelle, but manage to have a laugh or two. Read Jenny's blog at discriminatingirreverence.com

In which we find ourselves in the Carr Mill Labyrinth, lost and afraid. But we are saved by the Theseus of Carrboro, Paula Pazderka! Paula is the artistic director of the DSI Comedy Theater. She performs, teachers, directs, manages. She is a one-woman army of improv! Boom!

In which we write some jokes, spread confusion about what day it is, and wax rhapsodic about ramen. Both of us will be at ComedyMongers on Sat, Mar 2, upstairs at Fishmonger's in Durham!

In which we go Full Southern and get the vapors with Charleston comic Andy Rider. John promises to write 50 jokes; Michelle is too smart to say such a crazy thing.

In which we uncover the secrets of producing good shows and being awesome onstage with Christian Spicer and April Richardson. All of this behind the scenes at the 2013 NCCAF.

Finally! The live episode from the terrific 2013 Comedy Arts Festival. Thanks to our guests Munashe M, Eric Oren, Sarah Connor, and Nick Lavallee (plus Sally Struthers's voicemail).
