Let's Get Serious

Kendall Bruns interviews Stefan Lawrence and Alexander Zalben of Elephant Larry, one of New York's most notorious sketch comedy groups.

Kendall Bruns interviews Jon Braylock and Ramy Youssef of Inside Joke Films.

Kendall Bruns interviews John Haskell and Arthur Meyer of Two Fun Men. We discuss the differences between today, tonight and tomorrow, the slow food movement, and impressing girls by performing sketch comedy. Two Fun Men is based out of New York. Sometimes Arthur plays Booner the Page on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. John works at Beans and Butts. They have a lot of love for each other.

Kendall Bruns interviews Liz McArthur of Feminine Gentlemen. They enjoy a long, rambling discussion about her many sketch comedy endeavors, fear of passion and her long-abandoned Adam Sandler fansite.

Kendall interviews Drew Current about The Santa Stories: The Naughty Story, which he directed. Drew is a member of pH Productions, a company that's puts together improv and scripted shows. The Santa Stories just ended a run of performances at Studio Be that featured a closeted homosexual elf, drug-addicted Rudolph and sex-starved Mrs. Claus.

Kendall interviews Kelly Bolton from Off Off Broadzway, a musical sketch group that puts a comedic spin on the burlesque revival of recent years. In Off Off Broadzway, Kelly plays Andy Drodgenous, a sleazy dude that follows the girls around and adds suggestive comments between (and sometimes during) songs. They talk about what it's like to say "boner" in front of your mom and debate what a thunderbolt is.

Debut episode! The first guest was Brian Peterlin of Bri-Ko, an all silent sketch comedy trio with an upcoming run of shows at Stage773. Brian also runs tech for a number of local comedy groups so he shares his perspective from both sides of the stage.
