Had some very busy evenings this week – thank goodness the vast majority of entertainment folks live on the West Coast.
On Tuesday I interviewed comedian Brian Regan. He’s a longtime comedian whom I was fortunate enough to interview earlier this year for LAist. This time I interviewed Regan for Bostonist because he was headed to Boston for a gig. He’s playing big time theaters now which is pretty impressive, and he’s doing very very well. A great interview this time, a lot looser than the one back in April, and of course Regan was friendly and charming as usual.
Then, via my friend Julie Wolfson, I got a link to Breckin Meyer, longtime writer and provider of many voices for Cartoon Network/Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken”, probably my most favorite animate program of the last several years. “Robot Chicken” airs its second “Star Wars” special this Sunday at 11:30pm. I talked to Meyer on Wednesday night as he was leaving the next day to go to Lucasfilm in Northern California, to screen the special for George Lucas and a team of employees there.
On Friday night, I talked to comedian Jen Kober – she’s starting an all-female travelling cast of Southern comedians and is kicking off the concept on Monday at the Comedy Store. She seemed pretty cool to talk to, I’ll probably talk to her again when she comes to Boston in December. Now I just need to write that interview up tomorrow and I’ll almost be caught up with interview work.
Give a listen to the interviews and let me know what you think!
