Comedy Bang Bang: The Podcast

April 2, 2012

What would you do if I sang out of tune? I’d tell you to shut up because we have actor and director Fred Savage on the show and he’s giving us secrets and scoops from the set of The Wonder Years as well as NBC’s Best Friends Forever, which he directed. We’ve also invited a couple of Fred’s fans to join us, Pam and Len Bicell, who treat us to some sensual fan-fiction and an equally sensual round of Would You Rather?! Now make like Fred Savage and vote for Comedy Bang Bang in The Comedy Awards!

It’s a tale as old as time: A precocious orphan with a heart of gold and a love for musical theater meets a living legend of Broadway. Such is the story of Fourvel and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, an unlikely pair who met during today’s Comedy Bang Bang. Are things going to change for the better for Fourvel? Will Lord ALW’s television debut be a SMASH hit? When are we recording this episode? All of these questions and more will be answered right here on Comedy Bang Bang!

This week’s Comedy Bang Bang was recorded live at the South by Southwest Festival 2012 in Austin, Texas. Our guest for the prestigious affair is the one and only Tim Heidecker who shows off his prowess in comedy, music, and headwear. To comment on all the delicious cuisine Austin has to offer is Merrill Shindler, who just might have found a new best friend in Bob Ducca. And since we have Reggie Watts around to perform the theme song and music breaks, it only makes sense that we should challenge our guests to a Freestyle Rap Battle! A great big Texas-sized thank you to everyone who came out to the show!

We all love David Wain, but do we really KNOW David Wain? This week’s Comedy Bang Bang is the only place on the internet to get in-depth info about Wain’s personal life with the added perspective of his father and four-year-old son.
