Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast

July 9, 2012

Last year, an episode of Comedy Bang Bang was made that, to put it simply, changed the world. Nearly a year later, can the magic be replicated? We’ve brought back Harris Wittels, Adam Scott, and Chelsea Peretti, and they’re here for more songs, characters, foam, two-man shows, life advice, and plugs! Is the world ready to be changed again? It better be!

With the Spring 2012 semester coming to a close, we are contractually obligated to have our 15 year-old intern Marissa Wompler visit. I cannot reiterate how much this is not our choice, especially now that she’s accompanied by her faculty mentor Miss Listler. We try to make the best of it with the return of Jukebox Jury and a game of What Am I Thinking?, but try as we might we can’t seem to pry Marissa away from her constant need to yell and discuss her changing body. Once again, our apologies.
