Assignment One
Comedy Bang! Bang! is a weekly improvisation comedy podcast broadcast by Earwolf podcasting network that has been airing since March, 2009. The show is available to listen for free on SoundCloud, here and multiple mobile apps, including Earwolf's own HowlApp where listeners of the show are offered new material constantly. The show's host Scott Aukerman has been with the show since the beginning and has since made a tv spinoff with the same title. Out of all the podcasts I listen to, this has to be a personal favourite of mine.

The podcast episodes vary in length but they are very similar in their formula. A typical episode usually begins with an interview part where Scott takes the role of the host more or less seriously and asks questions from the first guest of the episode. This section is followed by seemingly random "characters" coming in to the studio and being interview by Aukerman, introducing the improviastion aspect to the show. Comedy Bang! Bang! features many comedians from the comedy scene in Los Angeles and New York, such as Paul F. Tompkins, Horatio Sanz, Andy Daly, Jason Mantzoukas and Lauren Lapkus. The aforementioned guests are featured in the show often among many others, but not as themselves, as most of the time they take part in the show as one of their characters who have a deep-rooted history in the CBB fanlore. Comedy Bang! Bang! episodes are heavily laded by inside jokes, something that the host and old guests keep referring to constantly. Examples of such would be "Heynong Man" and "All joking a salad". Comedy Bang! Bang! also features many games in its repertoire, one of the most popular being "would you rather", where the guests are presented with two scenarios and they have to decide on one through asking questions from the host. The episode always ends with a segment called "Plugs" where the guests get to promote their own events.

The show has a large fanbase, gathered via the podcast as well as the tv show. Because of this Comedy Bang! Bang! sets out live shows every once in a while, bringing the podcast format on stage with the beloved guests such as Cake Boss, HoHo the Naughty Elf and many others. These special live performances are usually recorded and in that way fans who cannot make it to the live performances, like me, still get to enjoy them.
