Moving to LA
Moving to LA
Andrew and Jessica Sproge
We are a married, comedy duo hailing from the City of Saints who moved to the City of Angels. We established two flourishing comedy businesses in SLC and after gaining enough experience we decided to move somewhere we can actually make money doing comedy (hopefully). Our podcast serves as an informational and entertaining resource for people who are planning to move to LA and, like us, have no idea what they're doing. We will provide weekly updates about our lives living here along with reviews of restaurants and things to do and improvised scenes based on something that happened that week. We make mistakes so you don't have to! WEBSITE-https://www.movingtolapodcast.com/ for pictures and more recommendations. YOUTUBE CHANNEL-https://tinyurl.com/sprogec for more comedy.

Ep 32: Tacos Tu Madre
Ho Ho Ho! Merry Stay At Home Order, everyone! That's right, we've been nothing but be home practically every second of every day like we have since March! In other words, not much new in our lives, but Andrew gives us a glimpse into how some places are getting around being shut down with some loopholes in the order. Andrew's tip this week has to do with car registration. Can you believe it's been almost a year since we registered our cars because we can't!! Time means nothing anymore!! We try the breakfast burritos at Tacos Tu Madre and visit multiple shopping outlets in DTLA. Andrew then shares the time he found out Santa Claus wasn't real which inspires our improv scene. We will be off for the rest of December for the many obligations and work we must do so we will see you next year in January! Checkout our WEBSITE for pictures and more recommendations.

Ep 30: Grand Central Market
California has a curfew now so I guess it's time to go back to high school! Just kidding, this doesn't affect us in any way. Andrew's got a tip for those of you who want a little companionship during these hard times and for the rest of your life onward. This week we checked out downtown's Grand Central Market and reviewed a couple of food places: Berlin Currywurst and Prawn. Our improv scene is then inspired by a scary story from Andrew's childhood.
