At this point of the pandemic, we’re so glad to find many of our favorite things in comedy surviving in tact and coming out thriving on the other end. One of those things is one of the best comedy festivals around, Denver’s High Plains Comedy Festival, founded by one of the funniest working comedians/podcasters/authors/actors today, Adam Cayton-Holland. We talk with Adam about keeping the very beloved High Plains Comedy Festival as well as his own comedy on track through some of the most insane years in all of our lives.

Also, “hot” takes on Creative Arts Emmys winners and Tiffany Haddish having to apologize for sketch comedy scandal.
