Where can you listen?

Real news, improvised comedy.

Improviser and voice actor Alec Shea (@alecsheaimprov) and a guest host read and discuss interesting, weird, and completely true news stories from around the world, then improvise comedic scenes inspired by the story, the people involved, and the discussion that follows. They also discuss improv techniques and comedy styles.

Weekly episodes Alec, and very cool, funny, awesome special guests!

(Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee the news stories will be accurately depicted during the improv. In fact... they may be depicted somewhat inaccurately... Hmm... Actually its probably best to assume the improv doesn't represent these real world news stories at all...)
