Jessica Hagge and Bryan Moses and two KC based improv actors, playwrights, comedians, etc. Vivian Kane and Brock Wilbur just got to Kansas City, and Bryan/Jess are headed from Kansas City to LA. We discuss what kind of confidence you need to make that commitment at this point and then Brock and Vivian try to both help and scare Bryan/Jess.

Kelly Jacobsen Keeps Losing Dec 29, 2017

Show notes

Kelly Jacobsen (@kansassy) has a very similar background story to Vivian and Brock, but she's been at it for a while. She bounced from Kansas to the East Coast and is now back and helping out on Democratic political campaigns. We ask what it takes to get people to keep chipping in for campaigns that have near guaranteed rate of failure in service of the day when something genuinely good starts to happen. Also, guess what? We all like the new Amy Sherman-Palladino show. AND THERE IS FINALLY A THEME SONG.
