Larry sits down with Brooklyn based comedian, Chris Calogero. Chris is hilarious, down to earth, and fun. His Twitter account shows his brilliance with all of the character work he does and his A Die Hard Christmas Carol is incredibly popular and hilarious. Chris talks about comedy, venues, a certain distaste for a specific 1980's tune and the fact that there should be no guilty pleasures when it comes to movies.
