This episode is sponsored by: Mini Golf Reviews Partner: Gorilla Mind - Use code: 20 Local Comic of the Week: Craig Allan Special Guest: Craig Allan This week on Move the Mic Stand, Dean and Ka$h sit down with special guest Craig Allan for an episode that covers everything from comedy grind to straight-up survival mode. Craig breaks down his “Craig’s Choice” — his personal top 5 must-know picks in comedy — and drops gems that comics at any level can actually use. We spotlight our Local Comic of the Week, show love to the scene, and talk about what’s happening down at the Springfield Comedy Club in Missouri. Somewhere along the way, things take a turn into Gorilla Mind, flooding chaos, and the questionable decision-making behind running Tough Mudders like grown adults trying to prove something to their inner 12-year-old. It’s part comedy clinic, part Midwest storytelling, and part “why are we like this?” — just how we like it.
