#207 - Chris Hardwick & Mike Phirman @ The Granada Theater (2011)

Subject: Chris Hardwick & Mike Phirman @ The Granada Theater (2011) Record Date: June 11, 2011, 10:04 PM Warning: This stand-up performance contains adult language. Note: Recorded on location, at The Granada Theater in Dallas, Texas. The comedy duo, Hard & Phirm performed stand-up and music before a huge crowd of enthusiastic geeks and nerds, myself included. Unfortunately, my seat was situated right in front of a giant, bass-heavy amplifier, beside the stage. As a result, most of the songs had to be cut. However, I was able to salvage Phirman's hilarious cover/impression of "What A Wonderful World", as well as his amazing build-a-song, using a digital looping machine. I've added that to the end of this episode, as a way to go out with a bang. The show was full of surprises, particularly when Chris accidentally spilled his bottled water all over the stage ("He must really like you!"), or when references to Raising Arizona and Black Dynamite would fly out from interesting places. Special thanks goes out to my good friend, Dallas resident Jesse Jackson, and the wonderful crew of The Granada Theater!
