improv | The Comedy On Vinyl Podcast

Improvised interviews. They’re nothing new, but Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks perfected it as an art form. They made a number of albums as interviewer and interviewee, and the current generation of podcasters owes them a huge debt.

This week, we speak with none other than Scott Aukerman. Host of the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast and upcoming TV show, as well as a writer for Mr. Show and director of Between Two Ferns, Scott’s work on his podcast network is clearly influenced by Carl and Mel’s best work. He and his insanely brilliant guests improvise long-form host/guest pieces that will usually blow your mind. Listen in to exactly why Scott thinks you need to sit down and given this album a listen.

If you think of Lenny Bruce, you probably think of the guy who took on censorship and was a martyr for the cause of free speech. Maybe you’ve seen the movie “Lenny” and associate him with Dustin Hoffman’s huggable heroin addict. Your first thought might not be that Lenny Bruce was a guy who told jokes. And that’s why we’re here.

Luckily, this week we’ve got backup, in the form of Matt Besser, master improviser and brilliant comedic actor. Though he might not point you to this album to discover Lenny Bruce, this is the album that clearly blew his mind and was integral in his understanding of his own craft. Listen in, listen up, and check this album out.
