“It's something we do every week. Every week kind of has bigger name headliners. It's all just our taste. There's a lot of people like Ian Edwards or Dan Mintz who a lot of people haven't heard of yet, but we know are really great. When we started the show five years ago it wasn't because Patton Oswalt needs another place to play. It was because we had a lot of new friends like BJ Novak or Morgan Murphy, who didn't have any club to play.” PeopleKnowsNeedsYearsKindPlayShowsNamesFiveHeardWeekHavensTasteYears AgoBiggerClubsFive YearsReally GreatNew FriendsMurphy Author:B.

“And with this show we're trying to be a little sillier. We can do a piece like one we wrote the other day called "Ghost Busters Busters".
