Episode description

A harrowing tale of freezing waiting six hours for a COVID vaccine, lion headphones, Rhyming the Headlines with Elsie covers a baby thug makeover and creepy imaginary friends, and a round of the favorite improv game Audible brings scheduling conflicts at the zoo and romance on the high wire. And, veteran stand-up comedian and comedy teacher Chris Murphy joins the show and shares some of his experiences working in the field for over 25 years, brings us into his journey with cancer, and how that has affected his comedy, and a moment of epiphany in which he became aware of how grateful he was to have devoted his life to something he loves and cares about so much. Plus, Chris shares some of his method for developing jokes, and how he records how well certain jokes hit with different demographics.
