“Your President’s Large, Irish Balls” — Episode 707

Mikael surprising us with a massive, audible fart. For the better part of two decades, if you were talking improv comedy in Washington, D.C., you were talking Shawn Westfall. The man established the curriculums taught to countless performers in the city, founded and ran his own improv theater (RIP Unified Scene!), and enthralled innumerable audiences with his longtime comedic partner Mikael Johnson as part of the improv duo ShawnMikael[s]. While Shawn left DC and now calls Portland, OR home, he was back in town for the holidays, and I was lucky enough to get him on the show alongside Mikael. They’re both as funny as ever, and I think you’ll love (“and share?,” said in my guiltiest Jewish mother voice) the episode. Also, the episode title will make zero sense unless you listen to it, so you kinda have to now? Oh, and the photo is a shot-by-shot as Mikael surprised us with a massive, audible fart.
