POPULARITY
(Uploaded the wrong episode so this is a repost with the correct episode. Sorry!) We were blessed this week to have the angel of positivity that is actor, stage combat choreographer, essayist, mental health advocate, improv comedian, and all around good-egg, Michael Serpe (@badcaseofserpes) on #NoSuggestionPod this week! We chat with Michael about toiling in the community theater mines as a youth, the difference between something therapeutic and therapy, how much humans crave story, looking for connection in the world as a young introvert, serious high-school method acting, how Michael got into choreographing stage combat, and the reason he punched a friend one time. Co-host Jake Joseph (@f00lish_b0y) and I were so charmed by Michael's kind and optimistic POV, heart for community, particularly the community that makes You Are Not Alone (@youarenotalonecomedy), the monthly mental health monthly comedy show Michael has been making with his friends and performing in at the Magnet for nearly a decade. We also squeezed in some more silly than normal improv scenes, including a scene about some cocky youths waiting an exorbitant amount of time for their turn on the playground basketball court. Super proud of this episode and that we got to hang with Michael, he is such a bright spirit. Check this episode out, and if you like it, please rate and subscribe to our podcast on your podcast app, and tell a friend about our little comedy podcast, No Suggestion; An Improv Comedy Talk Show. Appreciate you!
We talk to NYC actor and improviser, Michael Serpe. Jason and Michael get right into it about normalizing addressing mental health, the Magnet Theater show Serpe co-hosts, "You Are Not Alone," (an uplifting comedy show about depression) and how it addresses mental health through comedy. Michael also talks about the delicate balance the performers must take to care for the serious material, his love of wrestling and AEW, doing theater, and more!

Comedians Pat May and Michael Serpe try to fix the broken thing inside Aaron's heart that makes him not like Nintendo. Do they have the wisdom, courage, and power to convince him? Or will Aaron not let go of the fact that Mario is a boring blank slate character with no soul?
