EP. 318 — The Science of Comedy

Mike Mitchell, Alex Fernie, Chad Carter, Hillary Matthews and special guest Jesse David Fox join Matt Besser for scenes about a freegan IT worker, an extremely competitive grandfather, and a prank show that pranks pranksters. Plus, they take a peek into the comedy of the future, and the failure to analyze a stand-up set properly leads to disaster.
