From Shrek to Dewey to Kevin who can f*ck himself, this weeks guest is the incomparable Eric Petersen! We were so happy to chat with Eric about his love of theatre, and sitcoms and hats.

We dish about how hard of a show School of Rock is, being a standby Shrek and getting a full concussion while in costume, his breakout role in Kevin Can F*ck Himself, and the insane show he did in Scotland with his son. We also take a detour to Margaritaville and talk Tony snubs.

Absolutely chuffed to welcome this week's guest the iconic Joe Iconis!!! His musical Be More Chill found a second coming after the music went viral bringing it to Broadway and earning him a Tony nomination. But what happened at the Tonys was not chill at all!

We dish about how his song being sung at the Tonys was a surprise to him, how he identifies with Kermit, his love of teen horror films, and the importance of writing for yourself. We also get into the success of Six, and if musicals are dying or if our tastes are just eroding.

Keep an eye out for his Hunter S Thompson musical and go to his Christmas Extravaganza Dec 12-15th at 54 Below.

Quite possibly the best laugh on Broadway, we have Cody Jamison Strand in the stoods! After a decade on Broadway playing Elder Cunningham in Book of Mormon, Cidy is deoarting the role but not without sharing some secrets with us first.

We dish about his audition in front of Matt and Trey, the time they forgot his contract, having his lines written on props, breaking the 4th wall, and death by diarreah (according to Reddit). It's a gosh darn hoot!

HOT SCENE/COLD READ we indulge Cody with a very serious scene giving him a well needed break from comedy. What bad news will he deliver? Listen to find out!
