Brandon Collins is an up-and-coming stand-up comedian, actor and producer. He started acting and performing stand-up comedy in high school but didn’t pursue it any further until 2011 when he completed all of his higher education goals (Masters in School Counseling, what?!!). He has performed for Yelp NYC, Webster Hall and numerous NY comedy clubs and also produced shows that have been featured in the New York Comedy Festival. He is also one half of Comedy Outliers. Here he is looking adorably confused:
John Frusciante is an actor, comedian, improviser and an awesome person. He is currently starring in the one man show Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus Live! He also kills it on Twitter. Here he is giving smeyes:
The Serial parody you’ve all been waiting for! Every year, The Bartender’s friends celebrate the Scottish tradition of Burns Night, which honors poet Robert Burns. There is haggis, scotch, tartan, scotch, poems, scotch and toasts. This year Forest Ray was given the task to tell the “Immortal Memory” which revolves around a very naughty poem by Burns. So he wrote a spoof of the popular and awesome NPR podcast Serial. Here it is! Conceived by Forest Ray and Jordan Kraft, written by Forest Ray, with the vocal stylings of Forest, Jordan, Sharda Sekaran, Suparna Mukherjee, Alex Kveton and yours truly, Katharine, doing her best impersonation of the host of Serial Sarah Koenig (who Katharine just found out is her cousin).
Andrea recalls a series of events that lead to a major life change, and Forest talks about performing what should have been a simple procedure during his time as an Army medic in Iraq.
PLUS listener shout outs and news about the next Tell The Bartender LIVE! Also, a new episode of the advice show The Bartender co-hosts, The Struggle Bus, is up. Like the show? Tip The Bartender! Or give it 5 stars!

So, for the first time, she is releasing audio from the very personal (and hilarious!) one woman show she did 4 years ago about her (difficult relationship with her) dad. She is very nervous and needs a hug. Enjoy! Like the show? Tip The Bartender! Or give it 5 stars!
