Kornfeld And Andrews: The Radio Plays

Comedy, Improv

”Two Improv Masters” -- New York Times.

Seasoned performers, longtime improv instructors, and all-around swell guys Rick Andrews and Louis Kornfeld combine their improv powers for a series of longform, improvised radio plays that are as honest as they are hilarious. With a patient, nuanced style, they create a textured world filled with characters that will make you laugh and move you all at the same time. It’s comedy. It’s theater. It’s radio (but on a podcast). Produced by Lloydie James Lloyd in Nottingham, England.

See Kornfeld and Andrews live on Sundays at The Magnet Theater in New York: magnettheater.com

  13. The Sad Corner

    Season 1, Episode 122

    Show notes

    Bumper Cars are supposed to be for bumping aren't they? At a funfair there is a series disagreement between one man in his 30s and the man in charge of the bumper cars.

    Producers note: In the UK bumper cars are called "dodgems" which Rick and Louis thought was incredibly hilarious, until their producer pointed out that this was their original name in the USA, and that the reason it changed to "bumper cars" was people's desire to ram their cars into one another. Much like in this episode.
