Behind the Rad!
I edited this thing for my pals, the THIS IS RAD gang. Sometimes they have me on their show, which makes sense because I am a delightful podcast guest.
Not a front for a secret organization.

In a year of Gangbusters! some of our best shows have been kind of weird. We've done the green screen show, with a live projection of visual effects normally reserved for big city meteorologists. We've done Bat Night, with the kind of environmentally-friendly darkness usually saved for theaters that don't have a show going on. We've had musical night, a show hosted by a robot, telethons, something called Suggestion Box, a test screening of a movie, and of course, the Night of a Million Daves. We pulled out all the stops for this one, and booked every Dave that would return our calls.
For our last installment in a week of a year of Gangbusters!, please enjoy this clip of the most famous Dave we could find, film director David Lynch, who shared a few words with our audience.
On tonight's Gangbusters! 1-year Anniversary Show! we have Guy Branum, Richard Bain, Scott Luhrs, yay!, hugs&chaos, and improv group the Holdup, whose teammate Devin Field bears more than a passing resemblance to Mr. Lynch...
One time, Jeffrey Jay was on Gangbusters! and it was terrific.
Also, the Gangbusters! 1-year Anniversary Show! is on Friday.

Our first year of Gangbusters! has brought hundreds of improv and stand-up acts to the stage, but we'd be an awful variety show if we left it at that. We've put up musical acts, sketches, character pieces, videos, at least one juggler, and Trenton Willey, seen here at the 1st annual Los Feliz Invitational (the most prestigious comedy festival in Los Feliz!)
The 2nd LFI is fast approaching (Nov. 27th) but not until the Gangbusters! 1-year Anniversary Show! happens this Friday at 11!
Booking the Gangbusters! show is a complicated process. Everyone we know wants to be on every show at all times. One way Jason Van Glass and I bring order to the chaos is by responding to any comic who cold-calls the show with a complicated puzzle that they need to solve in order to get a spot. But I can't find the videos of any of our previous contest winners on YouTube, so another way we sort it out is by just booking rad new comics, like Alex Hanna.
This is the second in a week of video posts designed to emotionally prepare you for the Gangbusters! 1-year Anniversary Show! this Friday at 11.
