This week, in anticipation of the dynamite Accidental Comedy Fest this weekend (our preview here; full lineup here), host Craig Lyndall sat down with sandwich expert and comedian and ACF organizer Ramon Rivas.

They talked about the fest, natch, but also the Cleveland comedy community, how it’s grown, and Ramon’s travels and how they play into what he’s doing here. They also dig back into the city’s comedy history (including a lot of stuff that we didn’t know, or had forgotten) and the long way we’ve come since then.

Grab a sandwich, grab a ticket for this weekend, and listen.
