EP. 185 — That Ottoman’s Moving!

You’ve seen her in Burning Love, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and on stage everywhere, but today Natasha Leggero joins the guys in Sklarbro Country. Listen in as they discuss high art, Natasha’s strangest set (hint: Thailand), and her biggest issue with sports. She’s the only person ever to draw a parallel between the Zimmerman/DMX fight and the works of Bertolt Brecht, and she’s shooting a Comedy Central special in April. And later, the Sklar Buddies take a call from Dick Vitale, who has found a new place to live. SoCal locals, make sure you check the guys out at the Hollywood Improv on February 15th, at The Ice House on February 16th, and at The American Comedy Company in San Diego on February 19th. And don’t forget to grab tickets for the one-hour special tapings at the Majestic Theatre in Madison, WI!
