Live (On Tape) From The Sea Tea Comedy Theater, It's Our Stand-Up Comedy Special!

Live (on tape) from the Sea Tea Comedy Theater in Hartford, Conn.: (from left) Colin McEnroe, Carolyn Paine, Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita.

To do a show about local stand-up comedy, we figured we should probably do a show of local stand-up comedy.

So we went to a comedy club, put on a comedy show, and then did a talk show about the comedy show we'd just done.

This hour: some of said comedy show plus most of said talk show -- and we're fairly confident it'll make more sense when you hear it than it probably just did reading about it.

Disclosure: Sea Tea Improv underwrites The Colin McEnroe Show.

Jonathan is a producer for ‘The Colin McEnroe Show.’ His work has been heard nationally on NPR and locally on Connecticut Public’s talk shows and news magazines. He’s as likely to host a podcast on minor league baseball as he is to cover a presidential debate almost by accident. Jonathan can be reached at jmcnicol@ctpublic.org.
