Stand Up Comedy and Why Deadheads Went After Sarah
Sarah Halstead and Richard Chassler kick off this episode of Drinking During Business Hours with a summer-ready Austrian wine and a wide-ranging conversation about live comedy, producing their new weekly show Test Kitchen Comedy in Los Angeles, booking a first trip to Japan, and why movie theaters still matter. They also get into the vulnerability of stand-up versus acting, the changing business of comedy specials and social media clips, the backlash Sarah received from Deadheads online, what they're currently reading, and where fans can catch them next.
Drink of the Podcast
Grüner Veltliner from Austria by Kracher
