Episode 006 SILLY - Dave Columbo: "Performs quickliness all over the city"


Dave Columbo magically pulls off fast, smart comedy as a goofy, nerdy everyman. His writing is absolutely on point; his jokes are so well-written they could even stand on their own, without him, like a criminally dirty pair of jeans. Above all, he knows how to be a silly billy, so this episode is dedicated to silliness. In the context of stand up, what, actually, is silly? What purpose does it serve? What isn’t it? We wrestle with these utterly non-critical quandaries and then dive deeply into some super silly bits.
