This week can only be described as an abbreviated masterclass in show production and preparation by our guest, Saskia Bee! Saskia has been in the entertainment industry since childhood. We talk about her performing journey; her early days in community theater in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, up to the present in Phoenix, AZ, where she is a stand-up comedian, show producer, writer, Murder Mystery Theater actress, Ball Buster, game show host...seriously, how does she have time to take care of her dog!? Saskia also shares her pet peeves about open mic comedians and comedy show hosts, chock full of tips that far too many overlook.

This week's guest is Steve Grande, an improviser based out of Chicago, IL. Steve & Patrick were roommates in college and were two of the founding members of the Rowan University Sketch & Improv Club, which evolved into their touring improv troupe, "The Second Place Champions." We talk about Steve's early performing days, his creation of the comedy troupe with Patrick, taking the troupe on the road (which includes the infamous show at Iona College mentioned in an earlier episode), and working with Face Off Unlimited, an incredibly talented improvisational troupe based in New York, producing "BATSU!" shows both in New York & Chicago.

CONTENT WARNING: Firearms and Suicide are discussed from 23:42 - 28:31. It is about these acts being portrayed onstage, but if you are sensitive to the topics, you may want to skip that portion of the episode.

This week, we’re cracking open the vault! Patrick & George were booked for a show in October of 2023 by a man named Jon Bolton. Jon & George have been friends for years through magic and professional wrestling. They speak briefly about the show, before diving into Jon’s wrestling career, which took him overseas and earned him the respect of a number of legendary professional wrestlers. Enjoy this wrestling heavy episode, recorded in 2023 (where they successfully predict that the episode would not be heard until 2025!)!
