Lisa Linke visits with ComedyLab this week in one of our live studio sessions! Teacher in SC Writing Program Level 1 / iO Levels 2 and 5, as well as performer at ComedySportz Chicago and the Playground, this seasoned performer has a lovely outlook on what we do and a heart for student outreach that is practically unparalleled in this city. Lisa talks about teaching forms other than The Harold, Close Quarters, longform + shortform, and the idea of "success" (amongst other things); Lots of bits, too. [Original air date: October 15, 2011]

Andrew Hobgood, Evan Linder, and Wes Needham chat with ComedyLab today on their artistic process and experiences in developing progressive theatre with The New Colony (producers of Frat, That Sordid Little Story, 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, Hearts Full of Blood, 11:11). These winners of a Jeff Award for original music and the 2011 Broadway in Chicago Emerging Theatre Award, the podcast chats on history and has some laughs, and TNC gives words of wisdom on making improvisational moves inside scripted theatre. (Helpful tip - headphones will make this one way clearer.) Thanks for listening, and thank you to our packed live closed-studio audiences!
