The celebrated comedian and advocate extends her 'Fresh Off the Bloat Tour' to Columbus this weekend
I owe a lot to Margaret Cho’s 2000 one-woman show, I’m The One That I Want, as an integral part of both my evolving comedy and cultural education. It’s a magnificent, powerful work in which she evokes humor, anger, advocacy, and optimism in one fell swoop, delivered with comedic cadence that is unflinching and physical. […]
Comedy Interview: Piff the Magic Dragon
February 8, 2019 11:06 am Grant Walters 
The two-time "America's Got Talent" contestant and Las Vegas comedy stalwart kicks off "The Lucky Dragon" tour with a sold out show tonight at the Lincoln Theatre
“Hello. This is Piff,” says the voice on the other end of the call I received last week on my cell phone. For the unenlightened, Piff, or more properly, Piff the Magic Dragon, is the stage name of acclaimed British magician and comedian John van der Put, who is now synonymous with his green satin […]
Comedy Q&A with Claudia Oshry, “Girl With No Job”
January 9, 2019 11:53 am Grant Walters 
The Instagram star brings her virtual comedy to the live stage at the Columbus Funny Bone on Thursday
I am the complete opposite of a social media influencer. I gleefully post clichéd pictures of plane wing sunsets and our dogs on a whim, ineffectively hashtagged and heavily Insta-filtered with vivid shades of ‘Juno’ (sometimes Hefe, if I’m feeling fancy). My ‘like’ hearts pop up in single digits, and I’m relentlessly followed by overseas […]

November 30, 2018 2:00 pm Grant Walters 
Veteran improv comedy performers Joe Teeters and Jonathan DeMuth will take the stage at The Nest Theatre for two shows on December 1 and 28
Improv comedy in Columbus may indeed be approaching a halcyon. For those that love the genre, and for those who have yet to discover it, the opportunities to see strong, ambitious performances in our city are plentiful. Even sweeter is when two talented improv veterans come together and pour their experience into a new partnership. […]
Comedy Preview: Greg Proops of “Whose Live Anyway?”
October 29, 2018 3:43 pm Grant Walters 
The renowned improviser, stand-up comedian, and podcaster brings the latest on-stage version of the beloved "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" franchise to Columbus on Tuesday night with co-conspirators Jeff David, Joel Murray, and Ryan Stiles.
While walking in Hollywood on a July afternoon with my friend and former college RA, Russ, we passed an enthusiastic Audiences Unlimited staffer frenetically waving around passes for a taping of a ‘new’ television show called Whose Line Is It Anyway? We had both been avid fans of the UK version of the show, so […]
Interview: Comedian Kathy Griffin
September 13, 2018 12:00 pm Grant Walters 
Surviving and thriving after a controversial year in the national spotlight, the veteran raconteur and comedian returns to the Ohio Theatre on Saturday night
Whether you applauded or abhorred the protest image of Kathy Griffin wielding a latex mask that resembled the severed visage of President Donald Trump that surfaced last spring, the aftermath of its appearance is an intriguing, and unprecedented, case study of where comedy, politics, and freedom of expression can and should intersect in our current […]
