We talk to the always hilarious NYC improviser, Fu Goto! Fu is such an effervescent improviser and watching her perform is a breath of fresh air. She has been on teams at both UCB and the Magnet, which isn't incredibly common and is hard to do. Jason talks with her about how she discovered improv, what made her eventually want to get into, how she continued to have fun doing improv despite going through a time period of failing at, what it's like switching between theaters, and shares plenty of improv wisdom.

Mini Episode No. 20 - Picking A Team Name And Song

As a performer, having intimacy with your audience can be a huge step forward to having great shows. There are a few steps to having intimacy, though. And no, before you say it, intimacy is not just how close you are in proximity to the audience because a movie or TV show can have intimate moments with an audience. It really comes down to how open you're being in your performances and material. Jason talks about this subject in this mini episode we hope inspires you.

Christmas Episode 2023 - Pop Talk: Is This A Christmas Movie (No. 329)

In this special New Year's episode where we dive into the power of acceptance and setting realistic goals for the coming year. It's high time we break free from the fallacy of traditional resolutions and focus on what truly matters for personal growth. Jason explores the importance of accepting your current circumstances, whether it's your career, skill level, or life situation. Acceptance is not about settling; it's about gaining a clear understanding of where you are, allowing you to navigate towards where you want to be. Drawing on examples from entertainment legends like Steve Martin, George Clooney, and Jason Bateman, the episode highlights how acknowledging your current position can be a strategic advantage. Happy New Year!

We talk to performer, writer, and instructor, Patrick Rowland, in this fantastic episode! Patrick ran the whole gamut of improv and sketch in Chicago. He talks about how he got bit by the improv bug, how he managed his shyness while pursuing comedy, studying and performing at esteemed theaters like iO, Second City, and the Annoyance, how he started writing, his all Black sketch troupe 3 Peat, his popular sketch show Barack All Night, and after gushing over Amber Ruffin he tells Jason about how he got to work for her on The Amer Ruffin Show.

As a means of celebrating, we're sharing snippets of Jason's bachelor party weekend! Previous guests and podcast regulars make appearances.
Is it an episode to inspire? ...Maybe? It might inspire you to focus on the fun of friends and family coming together and not the debauchery usually associated with bachelor parties. Look, no one got arrested. No one murdered anyone. It was nothing at all like The Hangover. You can enjoy a relatively quiet weekend in the woods with your groomsmen eating donuts and barbecue, watching the NCAA tournament, and doing the Last Dab.
