REMEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE AND REVIEW! Jim and Chad sit down with friend and longtime collaborator Bill O’Neil, whom you might recognize from his national ad campaigns for Wendy’s and Liberty Mutual (and if you don’t, he’s fine with it — the checks cash either way). We discuss the connection between improv and clown, talk in depth about Clown Zoo, contrarian ideas, status play and Bill’s journey while creating his first solo clown show (directed by Natalie Palamides). PLUS, Jim does one of the most confounding name drops in the history of podcasts? This was a very fun conversation — with lots of nerdy clown shop talk. CHECK THE EP NOTES FOR LINKS AND WAYS TO CONNECT WITH US!
