from The Christian Humanist Podcast Hosted by Michial Farmer

Nathan Gilmour moderates a discussion with Michial Farmer, David Grubbs, and special guest host Ryan Gilmour on stage comedy and its televised descendants. We talk about medieval roots, Renaissance developments, American Vaudeville influences, and a whole mess about Saturday Night Live. We get to the improv, the standup, the sitcom, and all sorts of groovy things. Among the texts and comedy acts discussed are Beowulf, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Dave Chappelle, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Saturday Night Live, and Second City.
