This special episode has Tom meeting comedian Martin Butler at an anonymous comedy club (not the Castle!) on a summer comedy weekend somewhere in the Midwest.  Hear what happens before and after the show, how every night in stand-up is like a dunk tank, that opening for Kansas is a good thing, and that emotional support chihuahuas are people, too. This is an enlightening and funny look at the process of being a comedian, and why it’s much harder than it looks.

Byron Trimble is this week’s opening act for Kathleen Madigan, and an accomplished comedian in is own right. He also grew up in Michigan, so he’s excited for this week’s shows.

It’s a big one-two punch of great comedy this weekend – don’t miss it!
