Recorded live!

A one-night podcast festival

We started this event as the initial baby step towards our dream of one day hosting a state-wide podcast festival across Texas. Live podcast shows? Sounds weird. But it’s a lot of fun! So check our calendar to find out when & where the next one is!

Award-winning & nationally touring opening improv comedy act Can’t Tell Us Nothing troupe members Antoine, Tandi, Amechi, and Jon interview their guest Nick Cooper (Free Radicals, Houston DSA). The comedians jump back and forth between scenes & characters made up on-the-spot, and the guest interview whose answers inspire the next comedic scene.

Antoine, Tandi, Amechi, and Jon from Can’t Tell Us Nothing ask their guest Nick questions to learn more about him & set up the next scene.

Amechi & Jon from Can’t Tell Us Nothing probably improvising a scene. It looks like Amechi has a giant flower in front of his face.
