My guest this episode is none other than 30 Rock’s, Scott Adsit! Many know him as Pete Hornberger, but he’s done lots of other things including Moral Orel on cartoon network, Mr. Show and tons of bit parts and guest spots. He was in town for Duofest at Philly Improv Theater in June where he did a set of shows with Jet Eveleth (whose Gettin Close episode was already posted). We talk a lot about comedy and hear some great stories, but we also talk about his thoughts on comedy and philosophies on improv. Took me a while to get it posted, but it’s finally done. Enjoy it and share!

Also- Friday 11/8 at Greg Sestero and his Disaster Artist book tour is coming to town! He played “Mark” in what is arguably the best-worst movie ever made- The Room. I never miss a chance to watch this movie with people. I really do enjoy it every time. He will be at the PhilaMOCA where he’ll not just be signing copies of the book (I just got mine!), but also reenacting scenes from the film! I’m going to get to reenact a scene from the film as “Peter” and it’s gonna be amazing. Even more amazing- it looks like the next episode will be Gettin Close with Greg Sestero!
