Podcast – Comedic Wisdom: Episode 1 – Melissa Shoshahi and Simon Kaufman
Here is the premiere episode of a new podcast called Comedic Wisdom, hosted by Silas Lindenstein.
Special Guests: Melissa Shoshahi and Simon Kaufman. Recorded in Seattle, WA in January of 2012
Silas is a stage actor and director who last year discovered his love of performing stand up comedy in the Seattle, WA area. He developed this show to help help him learn the craft from more experienced comics in a more intimate setting than hanging outside of a bar. His hopes are that other "open mic comics" can also learn from these interviews as he asks questions that many new comics also have and get a straight answer from his guests. There is clearly no "one correct answer" when it comes to stand up comedy. He hopes that through interviewing a variety of comics at different years of experience, he and other comics will find answers that work for them.
