Two broken wrists and two microphones! Comedian Adam Gabel (@AJGabel) joins for an impromptu show. Adam runs “Not Ripe Bananas” — a Tuesday night workout room at West Side Comedy Club that gives comedians a place to take risks, try new material, and place where comics can bomb with purpose. We get honest about joke failures, the open mic grind, crowd work as a crutch, the myth of "killing," and why creativity demands an audience that’s willing to sit through imperfection. There's also a Rockville Centre roast, an Annette Funicello reference (!), and the most self-deprecating hospital story on the internet. If you’ve ever tried to create something new — comedy, music, a post, a life — this episode is for you.

Tom Kelly broke both of his wrists after hitting a pothole on 76th St. in New York City. What happened? How is he going to stay positive? Plus Tom’s first time emceeing at the West Side Comedy Club after his accident. In the middle a live magic trick from MoRoMagic MoRoMagic on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moro_magic_official/
