  • Remote improv is not good

    Used to absolutely love this show but since the pandemic Besser is still doing zoom shows which completely ruins the improv and energy. It’s just not the same.

  • Super hit or miss improv podcast, but I guess that goes with the territory. I'd pay real money if Besser would shut up about his daughter.

    The bit Matt does where he shouts commentary as people in the background of the scene with different voices makes me laugh every time.
