Brian talks to best friends and five-year duo partners Amie Roe and Kristen Schier. Together, they are the award-winning Amie and Kristen Show/Kristen and Amie Show, an organic and incredibly fun show. Separately, Amie is a member of the Megawatt team Brick at the at the Magnet Theater in NYC and a psychotherapist. Kristen is the Season Producer at the Philly Improv Theater, the Artistic Director of the Philly N Crowd, and a professional actor, improvisor and teacher. We discuss what makes their show special and how they keep their play fun and honest. Then we go onto do some of the most fun improv I can remember. From a fairly offensive mother and son to Kristen making me name Huey Lewis songs when she knows I can't.

Video of the set to be posted soon!
