In case you haven't noticed, the world is still sheltering in place, but we have a big healthy dose of our 2nd "Best Of" Episode for you.

Take a ride in the way back machine as Matt Kona hosts Dan Martin, Big D, Will Martin, Kendra Dawsey, Chloe Cunha, Jimmy Zheng, Nick David, Zach Brazoa, Ben Quick, Michael Stewart, Kevin Quigley, Danya Trommer, Jack Burke, Andy Ofiesh, Al Christakis, Maurice Green, and members from the audience! Keep checking back with improvboston.com and hopefully some semblance of normality will return.

The Naked Comedy Showcase happens on the first Thursday of every month at 9:30pm. It normally sells out in advance, and that will be the case when things re-open as most establishments will be operating at a reduced capacity.

We miss and love you all, and hope to see you back soon!

Backstage at The Naked Comedy Showcase 3/5/2020

This was recorded right before the pandemic of COVID-19 started to really affect lives throughout America. Due to the shut down of ImprovBoston and many other businesses and comedy clubs, there will be no March edition of The Naked Comedy Showcase.

This episode serves as a nice dose of normality for the podcast crew, and a great episode to enjoy while staying home and washing your hands. Matt Kona chats with the visiting original podcast producer Nick David, podcast favorite Dan Martin (whose album recording was postponed to another date in the future, so stay tuned!), Kevin Quigley, “Big D”, Jeff MacKinnon,Chris Connolly, first time Nick Martucci and very special guest Ryan Clauson. Ryan was a regular on the Boston Comedy scene, moved to L.A., toured colleges around the country, moved back to New Hampshire a while back and now pretty much only does comedy on this show. He’s an interesting guy, brought some musical instruments and we captured the audio of his set as well as a candid conversation after the official broadcast ended detailing the story of how he came to be booked on this particular show. Check it out and enjoy!

And keeping check back with ImprovBoston and hopefully we'll be back on the first Thursday of the month. Get your tickets online because it sells out! Bring your friends, but don't tell them what it is!

Matt Kona hosts first timers Herman Crabb, multiple time guests like Kevin Quigley, Dan Martin, producer Deadair Dennis Maler and more as we continue a new year of Naked Comedy in anticipation of the first ever TUESDAY Naked Comedy Show special edition. Dan Martin records his album on 3/24 at 7pm. Get your tickets (and tickets for the monthly showcase) at ImprovBoston.com and remember, bring a friend but don't tell them what it is!

Matt is joined for the first show of the new year alongside producer Deadair Dennis Maler. He talks to first timer Trevor Dion, some usual favorites like Chloe Cunha, Kevin Quigley, Aaron "Tiny" Smith, Al Christakis and Ethan Andre while people perform standup comedy naked on stage. Get your tickets for The Naked Comedy Showcase every first Thursday of the month at 9:30 at ImprovBoston.

Dan Martin guest hosts Backstage at The Naked Comedy Showcase! Fresh off the news that he's recording his debut CD at a special Tuesday Naked Show on March 24th Dan sits down to chat with Steve Brykman, Sparky, Kevin Quigley, Kenny Capozzi and Kendra Dawsey, Produced by Deadair Dennis Maler Intro by Nick David

This may be one of the more bizarre episodes in recent history. It's like a strange split 7" between two very different bands. We start with Dan Martin and I talking with April Bruckner and her Donald Trump puppet. Alex Foolski comes on and talks in a slavic accent for a while and generally clowns around and talks about nudist colonies aka 'lifestyle retreats.' Kevin Quigley comes by and chats and with producer Deadair Dennis and Matt. We round out the show with Julie Mizraji, a staple of The Naked Comedy Showcase who opens up about her ongoing struggles with cancer. Make sure you read her blog to get a sense of what's going on in her day to day life. 29woodenpomeranians.wordpress.com

This is a special episode of Backstage at The Naked Comedy Showcase where multiple people cancel during the show! Exciting! There's still plenty of good conversations with those who do show up! Producer "Deadair" Dennis Maler, Danya Trommer, Dan Martin, Ethan Andre, and Aaron "Tiny" Smith are up for it. Andy Ofiesh also shares a pretty great story about the time that Eric Andre does the show
