I'm a podcast whore!

I had a BLAST sitting in with the ImprovBoston Podcast crew - Harry Gordon, Chris Cuddy, Michelle Barbera, and ImprovBoston Artistic Director, Will Luera.

    Get Ready For:
    * The TWELVE Days of Hannukah?
    * We teach Harry about Gossip Girl and how to be a Bridesmaid
    * Penis Zest?
    * We learn that Andy was left at the alter by an actor on Gossip Girl

Everything is Sticky Sweet!

Every girls' dream growing up is to be in their own pop music video right? Well, dreams can come true. My hilariously talented friends, Chris Cuddy and Megan Golterman (performers at ImprovBoston) wrote and produced this AMAZING pop song. It started as an idea a million years ago... and thankfully - the world can finally see the amazing finished product. I dare you to watch this and NOT get it stuck in your head for hours afterward.

If you want to satisfy me, better come inside my pantry!


Cinnamony Virginity! Hilarious.



Check out more Cuddy and Golty in their 2-person sketch show, Obv!

They are also pretty good at drinking wine on porches.

Fisher in a Fishy Sketch for the Win!

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious.

I'm a fan of Matt Fisher in general, OBV. I'm also a fan of Diamonds Wow in general. And this... just combines so much goodness into one.

The ImprovBoston Podcast is hi-larious

Of course ImprovBoston - who I performed with for 8 years - starts producing a super duper amazing podcast - after I move to New York!

In any case, the hosts are Will Luera, Harry Gordon, and Christine Cuddy (plus whomever is guest hosting that week.) Every episode so far has been laugh out loud funny. I'm having a tough time picking my favorite. (Although, I will say Episode 4: Queer Qomedy Night made me do a real-live spit-take.)



Click "play" above to listen to Episode 4 or, to view all previous podcast episodes, you can click on the "menu" button in the bottom left corner of the player, and click on "episodes."

Or - just get caught up on all the episodes at:
http://www.improvboston.com/podcast

Then, do me a favor and report back. Tell me if it's funny no matter what or just because it's my friends. I'm pretty sure it's effing hilarious though.

Loves Moves Fast: By the CSO gang

The hilarious kids from the NYC-based improv group, Casual Sex Offenders bring us this all too relatable tale about how True Love moves oh so very fast.

Let's be honest... Ken Beck kills it.




You can catch these cats performing every Thursday night at The Creek & The Cave or at any other number of shows around the NYC area! They are funny and you know what? Also pretty darn nice.

The Pretty Good Sports Show is more than pretty good.

You like sports? You like comedy? You like not taking up more than 4 minutes of your day to fit it all in? Then the Pretty Good Sports Show is for you!
It's a weekly show (new eps usually go up on Wednesdays) on ESPNNewYork.com and I gotta say - it's awesome.

You can see all episodes online at the link above or on youtube. Personally, this one is one of my faves so far.




(Video Above) Last week we saw: 30 For 30: The Darrelle Revis Holdout Years
The Pretty Good Sports Guys take a nostalgic look back at a nation holding its breath during the Darrelle Revis holdout.

The Pretty Good Sports Show is living it up in 2010 and therefore they are on twitter: @PrettyGoodShow.

We like smart funny and the letter Q!


Our friend and local Boston comedian, Myq Kaplan, is in the finals of Last Comic Standingon NBC!



It really is the greatest when you can tell people to vote for the comedian you know - not because you know them - but because they are legitimately the best. He has been KILLIN' IT!
