“Even Bette Midler can, like, doubt herself.”

Lance and Ray talk with the hilarious and lovely Liz Wisan, an actor/singer/improviser who they met at Williamstown Theater Festival. You can catch Liz in People Improvising on November 30th at The PIT (123 E. 24th St. in Manhattan) on November 30th. And follow her on Twitter!

They talk about running lines with Bette Midler, being a Mayflower Jew from Harlem, auditioning to be Girl With Muffin Top, and the good and bad of being a Broadway understudy.

Also, Liz sings the aptly-titled "The Actress Sings Her Song" (from La Ronde; lyrics by Rainer Maria Rilke, music by Nathan Roberts), Ray Interviews for a Job as a Doctor, and Ray and Lance talk about Chillsgiving and the existential question of understudies.

“You don’t need anybody’s permission to go create what you want to create.”

Lance and Ray talk with Charlie Todd, the founder of Improv Everywhere, a joyful prank collective responsible for dozens of amazing public pranks, including The No-Pants Subway Ride and Frozen Grand Central. Check out the terrific documentary We Cause Scenes on Netflix for Improv Everywhere's full origin story.

They talk about the connotations of the word prank, the scariest moment in Improv Everywhere history, why Charlie wishes he'd chosen a different name for the group, and one of his all-time favorite IE missions.

Also, composer Tyler Walker's "Teenage Time Traveler" (his score for Back to the Future in Real Life),  Intergalactic Open Mic, and Ray and Lance talk about peanut-butter smoothies and going your own way.
