improvisational comedy

This week we are joined by radical free-thinker and creator of the groundbreaking Netlfix special "Get On Your Knees" Jacqueline Novak. We break up the form to try to find something fresh, now, and new. Do we succeed? Or do we just create Marc Maron's WTF again, but hosted by us? The answer may surprise you! Plus, is it ethical to mirror someone else? Is there truth in the spirit of improv? And what is the state of comedy? Better now! You're welcome!

In a socially distanced world, devoid of live interviews, we finally dipped our toes into the remote recording waters. Those waters were mighty fine, as this week's guest is none other than the Pastry Stout Playboy himself, Alex Kidd.
Unless you've been in quarantine for the last decade, you know that Alex is the man behind Don't Drink Beer, a blog that remains unparalleled in its wonderfully unique combination of humor, insight, and perspective. We get into DDB's origin story and wild trajectory, which ultimately gave birth to Alex's podcast, Malt Couture. 
Like the DDB blog, Malt Couture very much occupies its own category in the beer world, consisting of equal parts beer commentary and improvisational comedy. Alex shares a handful of stories from the improv world, touches on his day job as a lawyer, and had us laughing in a way that nearly required medical attention. It's true -- Unicorns DO exist.
