At the last minute, Pete LePage of the Comic Book Club (CBC) podcast contacted me and asked me to come on their live show Tuesday night! It was mere hours before I was about to record my own podcast, Comic News Insider (CNI). My good pal Jon Hoche was coming over to co-host so I asked Pete if we both could do it. He said sure! I asked Jon to come over early and after recording CNI 389 (available tomorrow), we rushed down to The PIT (People's Improv Theater). My good friends Grace Helbig and Lorraine Cink perform there all of the time so I was familiar with it. If you don't know, CBC records their podcast live every Tuesday night in front of an audience in the small black box theater at The PIT. (Though they are soon moving to Pianos to start recording the show as a videocast as part of The Nerdist Network).
I wasn't sure what to expect as I never attended in the past. Always wanted to go, but we record on the same nights so it made it impossible. We got there right at 8 as it was about to start and the guys quickly went over what the show was about. Oh, the guys being the CBC hosts. Pete LePage, Justin Tyler and Alex Zalben. All funny and nerdy guys. Just like me!
It was a modest audience in the thousands (okay, only about 10 people were there) but they were great and laughed a lot. Had I had more notice to promote me being in it, I'm sure I could have gotten a bunch of friends to attend. You all would have come, right? RIGHT?!!! Anyway, it was a lot of fun and we all riffed off of each other pretty well. We talked comics, some of the big stories of the week, gave out prizes and laughed a lot. I'll definitely have those guys on CNI in the future and they said they'd love to have me back on. UNLESS THEY LIED! Nah, they ain't liars. But they sure are funny folks! Here's the blurb from their page about the show. Now go listen!
