Michelle Maclay and John Sideris are two comics working in North Carolina. We talk about performing, about writing jokes, and about building an act away from the traditional comedy meccas. On the show we also interview other comics, both local and national acts, about the evolution of their acts, how they work and write, and what it's like performing in small towns and larger venues.
