6S, ep. 12: NYC stand-up comedian, Casey James Salengo, learns improv live on the show.

This week we continue our summer project, 6S: Some Suggestions Sometimes Summer School Series. Each week this summer, on #NoSuggestionPod, we'll have on a performer, usually a comedian, with very little long-form improv experience. Me, and a few of past No Suggestion guests, all seasoned improv comedians, will give that guest a private improv class live on the show.

So thrilled to have actor, podcaster, show producer, husband, cat-dad, karaoke enthusiast, and one of my favorite comics in town, Casey Jay Salengo (@caseyjsalengo) on the show to take an improv class from us this week. Co-host Christpher Morucci (@christophermorucci), and guest co-host Kevin Karpinski (@playwelltogether33), and I, go on a romp this week getting to know, and trying to tame, the giddy bronco that is Casey. We get to chat with him about why you can't be a stan for a man, how stand-up comedians are basically pirates, the fact that Casey's wife, Courtney (@courtmaginnis) would prefer him to be a normal functioning human, and much more.

We do a lot of improv on the episode, and Casey does a wonderful job. and we really get to dig into improv technique and what makes scenes work. we also get to really have some true comedy nerd conversation about comedy theory, and career, and it's super satisfying.

Casey truly is one of the city's best stand-up's, and he announces on this episode he's taking over as one of the producers on Live From Outer Space (@lfoscomedy), one of NYC's longest running stand-up comedy shows at Cobra Club (@cobraclubbk) in Bushwick. Be sure to check them out, I love that show. And check out Casey's podcast with his wife, Court, I Love You, But Your Music Sucks!

Can't wait for you to check out this episode of No Suggestion. We know you'll be as bemused by Casey's constant misbehaving as we were!
