In one of his first shows, Andy got to play in a scene called, “Late for Work,” where he and 3 other members of the group (Trevor Hill, Cherie Julander, and Mike Ramsey), all worked with him at a business. Cheri was the boss, Trevor was late for work, and Mike and Andy were his co-workers who wanted to help him keep his job. The two co-workers had to act out three excuses behind Cheri’s back that Trevor had to guess to keep his job. In this case the three excuses were first, he came to work on a pogo stick; second, his wife was giving birth, and third, he lost his llama. Hill successfully guessed all three and was allowed to keep his job. I get to hear from Andy, how he became to be in the group and more experiences he had while being a member of Comic Frenzy!

I interviewed Brady Moss and it was a treat. Again, this is all about his time and experiences while he was in Comic Frenzy, “I’ve been performing basically since I could talk. I would do impressions of my grandparents and friends and when I was seven years old I was in my first major performance,” Moss said. "Since [going to BYU-Idaho], I’ve been in six major productions, five student-produced productions and a year and a half of Comic Frenzy,” Moss continued, and that was all while he was still in Rexburg! It's now years later so we get to catch up! Enjoy!

With over two decades of experience in live performance, Christian Busath is a true Renaissance man: a stage actor, screen actor, director, producer and jokester. He is known for his high quality comedic videos for such companies as Universal Studios, Dreamworks, Google, Mattel, and more, gaining nearly a half billion views! He also performed alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Tony Horton, and three time Olympic gold medalist Kerrie Walsh-Jennings in a series of comedic workout videos. He earned international attention in the YouTube video "Fruit Ninja in Real Life to Dubstep" on his friend Scott Winn's channel, which has over 1.8 million subscribers. He played the titular character, and the video has since earned more than 25 million total views. He studied improvisational comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in New York City. He graduated from BYU - Idaho in 2006 with a degree in musical theater. His involvement with Comic Frenzy is why I interviewed him today!

When talking about Comic Frenzy back in 2002 Sara Hendricks (Allsop), who hailed from Eau Claire, Wisconsin said, “I like ‘Oscar-Winning Moment,” where a normal scene suddenly turns into an emotional one. She was described as the “fearless” creature of the bunch and claimed that as comedians, “They can’t help it. Lepers can’t help that their arm falls off... Everyone [on the troupe] can’t help being so darn funny.” As acting without a script can be challenging, Sara said that, “It’s nerve wracking, terrifying, and a toll on the immune system.” Almost 20 years later, I touch base with her as she shared her memories of that wonderful time!

While studying broadcasting and advertising at Brigham Young University-Idaho, the California-native Jeff Blake formed an improv acting troupe called Comic Frenzy. His theatre experience began as early as he was six. His mom was a drama teacher at the local high school and he always enjoyed it, but didn't know he would be diving into that world as much as he had! Listen to our fun interview!

I have like, 8 podcasts right now, so I really had to talk about them all!!! Maybe the 7 listeners here will want to listen to those ones as well :-)

Some of my favorite shows are on Paramount+ and I think more people should be watching them!!!
