This week, I chat with Dylan Rohde of The Backline Comedy Theatre and Omaha Comedy Fest. We cover the local comedy scene, influential sketch comedy shows, and freestyle rapping. This episode is in the running for the most unexpected turns in conversation! I learned about improv styles in Australia vs. U.S. and clowning in Japan.
