Kitty Junk talks about the history of American improv and the grandmother of improv comedy, Viola Spolin! We read from Angie's personal interviews with Aretha Sills, Viola's granddaughter and an educator in theatre games, as well as Kelly Carlin, George Carlin's daughter and a performer and writer in her own right. We talk about Christopher Hitchens's article in Vanity Fair, "Why Women Aren't Funny," and the way women are viewed in the late night field. As the booze flows, KJ gets sillier and sillier, recounting some of our most embarrassing moments! Also, Ryan gets high, Angie talks about bumping into Russell Brand, and we both remember being called "sexy babies" by a drunk metal musician after a recent gig. Join us for a laugh!
