What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Wayne’s wit and satire are beyond genius, and he was my favorite on whose line is it anyway, which says a lot, considering the other comedians were sometimes just as good. And Jonathan Mangum, so perfectly compliments Wayne. This partnership is true magic and I can’t wait to hear more.

TheADHDWoodShop · May 2025

Both Wayne and Jonathan are brilliant together. I’ve missed Wayne’s improvised songs, which are gems to hear. The guests are hilariously roped into the madness only the hosts can create. Also, kudos to the accompanying keyboard who paints the scenes and really helps these elements come to life. Again, brilliant podcast. “Peak Improv comedy in your pocket!”

Ynotw57 · Apr 2025
