Podcast episode 381ish: Daniel Chai & Chip Ellis

Chip & Chai, the last two on the right

It's the Chip & Chai show! In this episode, The Fictionals co-founders – Daniel Chai and Chip Ellis – stop by to tell us about Improv Against Humanity, their monthly extravaganza which has recently relocated to the Vogue Theatre. Big time. It's based on a party game called Cards Against Humanity, which I hadn't heard of before. So they gave me some hands-on experience as we played a few rounds of it to determine the most horrible person in the studio. We also dug into Chip's past – he's from Oklahoma. Who knew?! And Daniel talked about making sound effects for Wayne Brady in front of a thousand people. And we each gave our karaoke go-to song.

The whole episode can be listened to right here for absolutely free. Or, for the cost of nothing more, you can go get it at iTunes, Stitcher, PodcastLand, Tunein Radio, or places like that.

Mar. 8: Daniel Chai & Chip Ellis

Improv is nice family, friendly entertainment... or so I thought until I took in Daniel Chai's Improv Against Humanity once. Yowza! Don't bring the kids, folks. It's a wickedly fun concept based around the game Cards Against Humanity. If you don't know what that is, you're just going to have to tune in tonight as we talk to both Chai and Chip Ellis, one of the mainstays of The Fictionals. IAH is just one of the many shows the troupe does. It started out at Cafe Deux Soleil, moved on up to a regularly sold-out show at the Rio Theatre, and they now find themselves at the Vogue Theatre. We'll talk about all that and more tonight.

We're on the air at 11 pm on CFRO 100.5 FM. Or you can stream us at coopradio.org. That's the new time, don't forget. These days all our devices automatically put our clocks ahead, but in case you're going by the microwave oven, we lost an hour last night. Make the adjustment.
