EP. 25 — Jason Mantzoukas, Robert Baker, Crispin Whittell
Happy 4th of July! This week’s all American show kicks of with a re-read of the wonderful “Ok, Maybe Our Apartment IS Too Small For A Bald Eagle”, written by Tom O’Donnell and read by Jason Mantzoukas at the UCB Theater. Then, Robert Baker walks through a patriotic reading of the Declaration of Independence. Closing the show out, playwright Crispin Whittell reads the wonderfully condescending response letter from the British. Be sure to pick up “H is for Hawk” by Helen McDonald so you can be a part of the next book club! And if you live in the LA area, swing by Skylight books on Tuesday July 21st at 7:30 pm and be a part of the live Book Club!
