Odessa is a proud young woman, and for good reason. She is the bravest of the brave, the strongest of the strong, the cleverest of the clever. When her friends want to go out for a night of party-hopping, it’s only natural that they turn to her to lead them. Can Odessa lead a motley crew of young drunks (including her naive little sister) around Chicago and make it back in time to snuggle up to her beau? Will she (with the distant aid of her wise eldest sister) be able to keep the group together and navigate a night of drinking contests, arrogant party-boys, seductive taco joints and one sinister cyclist, or will she and her sister miss The Last Train Home?! Read The Script Here!: https://goo.gl/d5XJXE Starring: Le Aboav Samantha Berkman Spencer D Blair Ian Erickson Richie Owens Hobert Thompson With Stephanie Weber as Odessa
Today we are talking to lovable Chicago goofball, Samantha Berkman. I met Sam at a showcase out of the Lincoln Tap just over three years ago, where she invited me to take pictures at the first ever CAMP show. We became fast friends and she saved my number in her phone as “Baldy McFuckface.” CAMP is now a successful comedy showcase that features top-shelf comedians. Aside from her beloved weekly show, Sam is also a former writer for the AV Club television show, and a brilliant performer. Her style could be described as “carefree and whimsical”, often amusing herself onstage, as well as the audience. One of the reasons I release video of these performances concurrently with the podcast episodes is so you don’t miss any sight gags or visual context. In the first ten seconds of this set, Sam is spinning like a top. Watch the performance here: https://youtu.be/prMFhJulkLw Watch the performance with commentary here: https://youtu.be/P3KTkMFo1Zo
An introduction and primer for my new show; Performance Revue! The teaser contains clips from interviews with the following performers: Matt Brown, telling us what impression he wants to leave on his audience. Jillian Ebanks, discussing the conundrum of being both a feminist and a Drake fan. Le Aboav, talking about their gender identity and how it can impact a performance. Samantha Berkman, opening up about the origin of her comedy superpowers (if you happen to be either of her parents, you might want to skip this section). Episode 1 drops this Friday (October 26th)!
Samantha Berkman and Toby McMullen try to impress Mary & Dave with music, and things get a little crazy. We talk Eminem's new album, George & Jonathan, Jorja Smith, PUP, Googie, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Mick Jenkins and of course, Lena Dunham. It's a long one, but a good one.
