More on Comedy Heroes : We’ll uncover hidden gems, revisit classic routines, and share the sorts of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that you can pass off as your own knowledge at dinner parties (“Did you know that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the daughter of a billionaire? You did? Ah, that’s sort of rained on my parade a little…”).
What’s more, each episode kicks off with reader correspondence. Want to nominate a “Comedy Hero”? Please email theteam@alwaysbecomedy.com with the subject line “Comedy Heroes”.
And we’ll also take a look at the comedy news from that week.
