This week, three experienced comedians on striking the tricky balance between the road and home. Music: * “Sophistication,” from the Complete Capitol Production Music * “Track 2,” from “I Love You Alice B. Toklas” (original soundtrack) * “Rythn,” by Podington Bear * “Pretty Simple,” by Podington Bear Thanks to Cathy Ladman, whose one-woman show, “Does This Show Make Me Look Fat?”, opens soon; Brad Upton, whose upcoming tour schedule is available here; and Jackie Kashian, who can be heard on The Dork Forest and The Jackie and Laurie Show.
