We get into the growing state of comedy in Pittsburgh, why this is the perfect time for this festival, and a peek at some of the great shows that will be happeneing. Other topics include the difference between imrpov and stand-up culture, our weirdest acting tics, and the hell of 10K runs. Also: Did Derek really want to be a cowboy when he grew up?
