Alterna-Comedy Heads South
One of the big questions I get a lot is, "when will some of these folks I hear on The Sound of Young America come to (Florida, Montana, Louisiana, Minnesota, etc)?"
For those of you in the South, two great acts are headed your way: Todd Barry and Matt Besser.
Todd Barry is one of the funniest standups in America right now, with a biting wit and a hilariously dry delivery. He's been on The Sound several times: his comedy was part of the Joketacular episode, and the old streaming archives have a realaudio interview with Todd here.
Matt Besser most recently was on our air to talk about the Upright Citizens Brigade's "Asssscat Improv" special on Bravo (MP3 Link). I saw an early version of the one-man show he's touring with, "Woo Pig Sooie," in San Francisco last year and really enjoyed it. It's a thoughtful, funny, and ultimately surprisingly and powerfully personal look at faith and the seperation of church and state.
