# Episode #233 – The Comedian

We discuss the most accurate and hilarious movie about stand-up ever made, [The Comedian](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1967614/). Meanwhile Dan starts off the show by being gross, Stuart reveals his favorite kind of turtle, and Elliott tells us about a few nursery rhyme comedians. Apologies for the continued low Stuart audio. We’re trying to get to the bottom of it.
