    In the Tank Episode 112 - Kurt Metzger

    Original release date: April 6, 2009 Originally from South Jersey Kurt started his stand up career in Philadelphia and in 2001, he moved to NYC. I think we could have left Kurt alone in my kitchen with a 6 pack of Budweiser and a list of topics and pressed record. But luckily we were there to be the laugh track. After listening to this podcast, it will be easy to see how Kurt's unique brand of humor has led him to numerous writing jobs and appearances on Showtime's White Boys in the Hood, Comedy Central's Live at Gotham and most recently his own half hour Comedy Central Presents. Please enjoy this very adult episode of In the Tank.
