Stu and Nardos Osterhart talk about April Fool's Day, Laughing Skull Festival, one nighters, Trevor Hill, birthdays, vacations and more!

This month Christian Spicer is joined by the awesome and amazing Jono Zalay (Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull Festival); Will Weldon (Montreal Just For Laughs, Bridgetown Comedy Festival); and Jade Catta-Preta (Californication, Manhattan Love Story) for new bits and a chat about writing in the moment vs planned writing sessions, and more!

Listen to a great episode of Prequel with New York based comedian Josh Gondelman. He is a writer and comedian who incubated in Boston before moving to New York City. With years of experience as a preschool teacher and a pretty good guy, Josh charms audiences using his good-natured storytelling and cracks them up with his sharp, pointy wit. He takes topics from surprise parties to playing the trombone and makes them all equally hilarious.  Winner of the inaugural Laughing Skull Festival in 2010 and one of the stars of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, please follow Josh on Twitter and catch his live performance dates at www.joshgondelman.com.   Enjoy!
