Brian Gendron is such an all-around effective competent person that I put "fitness" as a tag on this episode. He's the founder of Riot Comedy in Houston and I just got back from the Riot Comedy Festival. Find out how I did in the National Comedy Contest finals! Also we talk a lot about what makes a good host, what it's like to go from a corporate job to running a comedy festival, and who you ask when you want to buy a 30-foot tall inflated astronaut balloon.
