Thank you for joining us for our last episode of @nosuggestionpod for the year! And it was such a treat to invite up to Radio Free Brooklyn studios our new friend, actor, writer, jazz musician, midwesterner, and comedian, Estar Cohen (@estarcohen)! Guest co-host Shawn Wickens (@timetravelingstoned) and I take a journey this week through the fantastical corridors of Estar's mind to glimpse into their insights on things like the midwest, cooking, math, and the Detroit comedy scene. The real treat this week, however, is the insane number of hilarious improv scenes we've packed into this hour for you! We did a more scenes than usual this week, including a fun scene where we encounter a traveling horse whisperer. Estar was such a fun and fascinating guest, who we had a blast playing with. We know you'll laugh as much listening to this episode as we did making it, which was a lot.

I don't know how to describe this episode of @nosuggestionpod. Steph Marc (@stephmarcshow) is a Haitian American comedy entity from Queens, NY who is something of a myth. I don't know how we were able to book him. But me, co-host Christopher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host Aaron Linker (@alinklink), have an experience with him for one hour in Radio Free Brooklyn Studios that I cannot begin to describe. It was not something to understand, only to experience. All I can say is we are forever changed. Just listen to it. The whole thing.

What a journey we took on @nosuggestionpod this week with the erudite, and soulful, comedian, actor, musician, linguaphile, Texan, and comedian, Robert Price (@robert0price). Beloved guest co-host, Jake Joseph (@f00lish_b0y), and I went through such a reverie through Robert's cavernous mind for things to talk about, and in there we found treasures like Fibber McGee and Molly radio plays, ravines, Lutheran church hymns, vanishing points, Gandolf, and more. We also did a did a heap of incredibly silly, and detail rich improv scenes, including a parlay between two dark ages kingdoms about to go to war seemingly over sausage. We had such a time chatting and playing with Robert. He was so funny, and so generous with his knowledge of language, poetry, and culture that might be forgotten or under-appreciated. Make sure to follow Robert and his Shakespearean improv team, @thornandpetalstick, and make sure to dig into this episode. This was one of my favorite episodes. We know you'll love it too.

We chatted about not being a junior, playing lacrosse at a majority black South Jersey high school, loving snarky VH1 shows growing up, improv being the pick up basketball of comedy, writing for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and The Amber Ruffin Show , and more!

Co-host Aston Holins (@astonhollins), and I, had a blast getting squirrelly with Kento, chatting about Happy Days, how Kento got three full time jobs in the pandemic, X-Men, almost failing out of NYU, and ADHD take home tests.

What a delight to have Surriya Ahmad (@emergencyimprov) on @NoSuggestionPod this week as we celebrate the return to our classic format!

This week we continue our summer project, 6S: Some Suggestions Sometimes Summer School Series. Each week this summer, on #NoSuggestionPod, we'll have on a performer, usually a comedian, with very little long-form improv experience. Me, and a few of past No Suggestion guests, all seasoned improv comedians, will give that guest a private improv class live on the show. It's a party this week as a we end our 6S summer series with the fun-loving and sharp-witted actor, stand-up and sketch comedian, choir singer, Detroit-native, and dog-walker, Connor Meade (@connormeadian)! Co-host Christopher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host, the esteemed Chris Griggs (@chrisgriggscomedy), and I have a ball hanging with Connor. We chat about Connor's first year in NY being the worst year of her life, starting comedy with Planet Ant (@planetantdet) in Detroit, how her mom won a pyramid scheme, books for boys, comedians in dramatic acting and more. Connor has almost no improv experience and is such a natural at improv and we get into so many silly scenes. We play and laugh a lot in this episode, and hand a wonderful hang. Please tune in and get to know Connor with us. We've had a great time doing 6S this summer, and this was the perfect way to close it out.

As we near the closing of summer, I was thrilled to pause our very successful "6S" series for a bit to just have an end-of-summer hang with some of my favorite #NoSuggesstionPod alums. Had a chill, convivial, silly, healing hour hanging with Kristin Kirkley (@captainkirkley), Josh Hurley (@joshhurley), Philip Casale (@phil_casale), and Raquel Palmas (@rockwell826) this week. We chat about everything from the craft beer hustle, to meditation, to Elizabeth Gilbert, to community building. We also get a lot of really silly, and gorgeous improv in, including a scene about Jesus and his bros troubleshooting problems with the early church. This episode was really a gift, these are some friends and comedians I really love, and it's just a big love fest, and a return to something closer to our more traditional format. Hope you enjoy it, hope it makes you feel warm inside. Please follow all of friends, and share this episode with anyone who's day you think it'd brighten.

So thrilled to have actor, podcaster, show producer, husband, cat-dad, karaoke enthusiast, and one of my favorite comics in town, Casey Jay Salengo (@caseyjsalengo) on the show to take an improv class from us this week. Co-host Christpher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host Kevin Karpinski (@playwelltogether33), and I, go on a romp this week getting to know, and trying to tame, the giddy bronco that is Casey. We get to chat with him about why you can't be a stan for a man, how stand-up comedians are basically pirates, the fact that Casey's wife, Courtney (@courtmaginnis) would prefer him to be a normal functioning human, and much more. We do a lot of improv on the episode, and Casey does a wonderful job. and we really get to dig into improv technique and what makes scenes work. we also get to really have some true comedy nerd conversation about comedy theory, and career, and it's super satisfying. Casey truly is one of the city's best stand-up's, and he announces on this episode he's taking over as one of the producers on Live From Outer Space (@lfoscomedy), one of NYC's longest running stand-up comedy shows at Cobra Club (@cobraclubbk) in Bushwick. Be sure to check them out, I love that show. And check out Casey's podcast with his wife, Court, I Love You, But Your Music Sucks! Can't wait for you to check out this episode of No Suggestion.

Co-hosts Aston Hollins (@astonhollins), Christopher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host Hannah Marias (@hannah_marias), and I have a giddy, mind-bending time trying to keep up with Joyce's fantastical mind.

We also really find a fun rhythm giving Madeleine her first improv class. We do quite a few scenes, and get to really dissect what worked and how they worked, and we try a few of them again. There's lots of laughing, and lots of discovering. Madeleine is so creative, and original, and by her own admission, weird, so this is a very dynamic and fun episode.

Co-host Christopher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host, Mark Melton (@swugmark), and I get to chat with BS about how he teaches people how to rap, the difference between short-form and long-form improv, comparing improv scenes to songs, and how Freestyle Fitness (@freestylefitnessnyc) employs cohort based learning. We also get to do a few improv scenes with BS. We really get to dissect each scene, and we also try to employ a few notes, trying some scenes over again after getting adjustments. There's some great gems in this episode about improv, comedy in general, and the parallels between improv and rapping.

Co-host Aston Hollins (@astonhollins), and guest co-host, Slaney Rose Jordan (@slaneyrose), really had a good time getting to know Crenshaw and giving him a proper improv lesson. This week we chat with Crenshaw about improv being stand-up's mortal enemy, Whataburger, what it was like for Crenshaw to be raised in LA and go to college in New Orleans, and surface-level vulnerability. We also got in a couple really fun improv scenes with Crenshaw, we got to give some fun notes, and then try them on in the scenes.

Me, and a few of past No Suggestion guests, all seasoned improv comedians, will give that guest a private improv class live on the show.

Co-host Christopher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host Shawn Wickens (@timetravelingstoned), and I, really enjoyed getting to know Becky, and chat with Becky about the origins of Broken Box Mime Company, how she landed in mime and acting from being an International Studies major, whether or not mimes are allowed to laugh or break in their performances, the internet trend of following endless spooky underground catacombs that may or may not be AI, and more! We get through a lot of improv scenes, with Becky, who has only a little improv experience. It's really fun to track Becky's blossoming improv skills over this unruly, squirrelly hour. Christopher and Shawn really get to drop some cool gems about improv, and we get to learn something about how the art-forms of improv and mime might interact. Broken Box Mime has been doing gorgeous, elegant, and often hilarious, physical storytelling and theater in this city for almost 15 years, under Becky's leadership. It is a real get to have her on the show, get to know her a bit, and to get to play with her. We hope you are as lit up and set abuzz by this unpredictable episode as we were!
