Host Marty Milquetoast plugs the Marty Milquetoast Halloween Extravaganza at Victory North on October 31, promising a variety show with drag, burlesque, juggling, mentalism, comedy, a costume contest, and sponsors Starship Novelties, Savannah Paranormal Museum, and Hair Do Salon.

Guest Will Nunziata, a Savannah-based comedian/improviser/actor from New York, discusses getting into performing through college improv, joining a NYC improv group, and performing with Second City’s short-lived New York program, with his first professional show affected by 9/11. He explains why he keeps performing, balancing it with family life, and wanting to do more plays. Will shares two horror stories: a corporate hedge fund gig that bombed, including a hot-mic slip, and a humiliating cake-slip pratfall.

He shouts out local actor Nathan Houseman, answers “Marty’s Poll” (ice cream/Dairy Queen, dream role Hedwig, quotes, rewatch favorites, moving to Savannah during COVID, losing 30 pounds), recounts a Faye Dunaway encounter, lists credits including The Colbert Show and Red Dead Redemption II, and promotes Ghosted at Tybee Post Theater plus a Halloween-night character monologue for the Extravaganza.
