Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Doug Punch with Billy Myers III
Q: What are some notable challenges or moments from the audience interactions on Riff Raff?
Moments include nut punches, spitting in mouths, and other outrageous stunts, with rules to keep it consensual and safe; the show balances shock value with crowd enjoyment and safety considerations.
Doug Punch with Billy Myers III
Q: Why did you choose the Riff Raff concept and how has it evolved over three years at the Comedy Store?
The show started as a flexible, old-school mic with audience prompts and evolved into a structured but still chaotic format with the riff and raff buckets, maintaining a sense of spontaneity while growing a regular, dedicated audience.
Doug Punch with Billy Myers III
Q: How did you feel growing up with a name that could be shortened to several forms and eventually settled on Billy?
Billy explains he's legally William Thomas Myers III, but he and his family used Billy from a young age; the third stays on official docs, yet he embraces the nickname for practicality and stage presence.
American Doug with Joe Kwaczala
Q: Do you have any tips for Joe at this stage in putting his movie out there?
Good luck; enjoy the festival rounds, though the distribution part is not the fun part.
American Doug with Joe Kwaczala
Q: What has been the response to your film in the festivals so far?
It's been well received, with big laughs from the audience and positive feedback regarding the storytelling.
