20 Questions with Michael Hartney, founder of The Squirrel Comedy Theatre

Actual talent on the No Outlet Podcast! In fact, I am going to go out on a sturdy limb and state that tonight’s guest is the MOST TALENTED person we have ever had on the show and that is saying something. Our guest has been part of a Broadway production, has been in Movies, TV shows, was the Artistic director of UCB NYC, is the creator and host of “Characters Welcome” an AMAZING YouTube channel, he also is the Founder of the Squirrel Comedy Theatre…I could go on and on, but I think that I have made my point. You will not be surprised (being the improv nerds that we are) to hear that we a huge fans of this guy, and were really excited to have him on the show!  We talked about the best Harold Team ever*, the art of Face Calibration (and correlating skill enhancements), the importance of Pippen (not Scottie), a few things we have in common, finally making Karaoke an Olympic event and picking the perfect song, developing a sense of humor with Leslie Nielson, finding the right alchemy when forming world class Improv teams, aggressive (sounding) foreign languages, the age old choice between Alcohol and Caffeine and when not to comment on an extremely overdone cultural moment along with may other super important topics. We had a great time and hope you all enjoyed the conversation as much as we did! Check out Michael in all his endeavors...you can see him perform at the Squirrel Comedy Theatre https://www.thesquirrelnyc.com/ with his Improv team Borabish and, of course, check out Characters Welcome on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CharactersWelcome.
