Kornfeld And Andrews: The Radio Plays

”Two Improv Masters” --New York TimesSeasoned performers, longtime improv instructors, and all-around swell guys Rick Andrews and Louis Kornfeld combine their improv powers for a series of longform, improvised radio plays that are as honest as they are hilarious. With a patient, nuanced style, they create a textured world filled with characters that will make you laugh and move you all at the same time. It’s comedy. It’s theater. It’s radio (but on a podcast).See Kornfeld and Andrews live on Sundays at The Magnet Theater in New York: magnettheater.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
