Joanne Filan is my absolute favorite person, and comic to travel on the road with. We've done clubs, colleges, theatres, for the past four years calling ourselves "The Misfits Of Comedy" and were going strong before the pandemic hit but we'll be back on the road touring again in the fall with some summer dates sprinkled in between. We goofed around a lot during this episode and I wouldn't have it any other way. Enjoy!
