EP. 16 — An Intergalactic Performing Arts School

Paul F. Tompkins welcomes all the important people back to this sacred place known as SPONTANEANATION! This week, Paul’s special guest is Canadian actor Aaron Abrams of NBC’s Hannibal! They chat about reasons Aaron would give to never talk to his cousins again, question why people make Christmas cards, and reminisce about the time Aaron was rushed into having a Bar Mitzvah. Paul is then joined by James Bladon, Matt Gourley, and Mark McConville of Superego to improvise a story set at an Intergalactic School for the Performing Arts. As always, the wondrous Eban Schletter scores it all on piano!

The next LIVE SPONTANEANATION will be recorded at Largo on Saturday, August 1st! Last time, live audiences ONLY got to hear Paul and guest Scott Aukerman cover a Smiths song; what exclusive live moments  will the August audience get? Get your tickets before it sells out: bit.ly/SPONT815
