    Casey McCormick comes from a rich tradition of thriftin' and thievin'.

    Had a blast on @NoSuggestionPod this week hanging with actor, writer, content creator, midwesterner, and improv comedian, Casey McCormick (@itsmecaseymc). Joined by guest co-hosts Aaron Linker (@alinklink) and April Sickler (@asickler), it's a party RFB studios as we chat with Casey about everything from growing up in Toledo, Ohio, to siblings and step siblings, why Casey no longer works at the UN, and much more! We also manage to get in quite a few rowdy and hilarious improv scenes, including one about a free-spirited grandpa who really loves his family. We just had a blast with Casey who was so easy-going, open, and funny. What a chill, yet unpredictable hang. Tune in, we know you'll be as charmed by Casey as we were.

    NSP Presents, The World Series: Rumela Mitra, Moved to NYC right before 9/11.

    @nosuggestionpod presents a new improv comedy series: The World Series! There’s a wide world outside of comedy, a world full of people with interesting careers, experiences, and philosophies, that have nothing to do with the world of comedy. Listen to the No Suggestion family ruthlessly mine those worlds for comedy! We have a fun hang getting to know fascinating story of Rumela Mitra aka @djlobocop on this newest installment of The World Series. This week I'm joined by incredible guest co-hosts Surriya Ahmad (@emergencyimprov) and Meghan O'Malley (@megsomalls). Rumela has so many incredible details to her life, including moving to NYC, fresh out of college, just weeks before 9/11, her parent's unique careers, Rumela's own dynamic career arcs, and more! We do a ton of improv on this episode, and it's a wild time! I was just transfixed by Rumela's story and I'm thankful she took the time to come share it with us. Tune and hang with us!

    Abby Pierce has an iron gut.

    Such a special episode of @NoSuggestionPod this week as we welcome a former colleague I really admire, actor, filmmaker, midwesterner, teacher, mentor, advocate, twin sister, and improv comedian, Abby Pierce (@plainoldabby). There's so much to talk to Abby about, and co-host Aston Hollins (@astonhollins), guest co-host Alex Sanchez (@alboogieeee), and I really have a blast learning all about Abby's fascinating journey. We learn a little about her job working for the legendary non-profit Drama Club (@dramaclubnyc), what it's like to be a twin, how Proactiv stains towels, how the two excellent short films Abby's just made (@soboom_runitback) are doing the rounds on the film circuit, how those films were inspired by her work with Drama Club, and how Abby's training at the legendary Piven theater prepared her for the work she's doing now. And that actually only scratches the surface of what we find to talk about with Abby. Amidst all of that, we also do a ton of hilarious improv with Abby, including a scene that details the origins of one of America's most iconic chefs. This episode really blows my mind. Abby is such a powerful, determined, visionary person. We really have fun, and are inspired getting to know her, and we know you will be too! Tune in!

    This week on @NoSuggestionPod we have a rare treat, a one-on-one hang with my friend, classically trained actor, professor, member of the legendary Astronomy Club (@astronomyclubcomedy), Bay area native, and comedian, Shawtane Bowen (@champagnetaneinc). Shawtane and I have a beautiful hang for an hour and chat about everything from Phil Jackson, to Sauce Walka, to lone wolves, to The Last Dragon. We check in with one another, and do what we do best, which is dial in on some real talk. We also do a lot of ridiculous improv scenes, including scene about a two bros on camping trip gone awry. It's such a privilege to hang with Shawtane. We really get where each other is coming from, and we have so fun to doing improv together. This is a special episode and I'm glad to share it with you all.

    Solo episode w/ Ralf, #3: "There's a time and a place."

    Another @NoSuggestionPod episode with me extemporizing to myself, and to you, doing solo improv scenes based on my monologuing. I talk about the Knicks in the finals, whether or not I should leave New York, dating and being hard on myself, and more. I am starting to get into the groove of these solo episodes. I'm starting to really dig deep and bare my soul. And these solo improv scenes are actually pretty funny and revealing, particularly a scene where we peek in on a lone hiker who's stumbled across a bear in the woods. Check it out.

    We're privileged to be joined on @NoSuggestionPod this week by brilliant actor, voice actor, playwright, professor, cartoonist, Story Pirate, character/sketch/improv comedian, Alessandro King (@alessandromking)!

We get to chat with Alessandro about the difference between New Zealand and Australia, legendary Sarah Lawrence comedy group, The Lampoon, the beloved Story Pirates podcast (@storypirates) Alessandro is often featured on, how Alessandro's writing changes when he is doing comedy versus when he isn't, and much more! We also get a lot of really funny improv scenes in this week including a scene about a movie theater concessions attendant turned rugged cowboy.

    NSP Presents The World Series: Jules Kingrea, co-owner of Cobra Club.

    "... It's not the same as having your own business, cuz your own business is like putting your entire heart and soul into it." @nosuggestionpod presents a new improv comedy series: The World Series!

This subject of this World Series episode is my long-time friend, Brooklynite, Poconos native, entrepreneur, and co-owner of Bushwick institution, Cobra Club (@cobraclubbk), Julia Kingrea (@cobracookie138). Joined by guest co-host improv comedians Micheal Bird (@thecosmicbird), Aaron Linker (@alinklink), and April Sickler (@asickler), we chat with Jules about everything from yearning to move to New York at as a youth, how she started working in bars the day she turned 21, to her secrets to building a bar and business, The Misfits, what are the components of a truly great bartender, the movie Tootsie, and much much more. We dig in and get to know a lot about Jules during this hang. We also squirrel around and get into a ton of hysterical improv scenes, including a scene full of Christopher Walken's who get simultaneously more faithful and less faithful incrementally as the scene goes on. This episode means so much to me. It's so wild and fun, but also gives me a chance to get to know a really good friend much better. Tune in and get to know Jules Kingrea with us!
