About this episode

Shawn Barnes and Holly Viggiano discuss their experiences in stand up comedy and new projects.

Shawn Barnes returns! This time with the very funny Holly Viggiano. Shawn and Holly swung by the studio on their way to a show. We talk about Shawns new movie "It's Always Almost Over" and his new "Open Mic Night" music video. Holly Shawn and I discuss stand up comedy in Albany, as well as NYC and how we get some different opportunities. Enjoy! Shawn and Holly……….Are you “Likable”?
