Episode 297 - LIVE from DCM Pt. 1

[DaltonMaltz 1119]

Live from Del Close Marathon, winners of the nationwide improv4humans contest Dad Van (Rafe Williams, Eric Christensen, Ben Lyons, and Melissa Darch) join Matt Besser along with Tim Meadows, Horatio Sanz, Chad Carter, and Shaun Diston! They take audience suggestions that inspire scenes about physical homesickness, a firefighter who wants to hang back, and a 4th grader who’s paranoid about assassination. Plus, a ghost can’t take off the sheet he died in and a visit to the seashell emporium brings back painful memories.

All-star lineup and Dad Van can hang. Shout out to whoever did the audio too because DCM live eps always sound great.

Dad Van are instant faves!

 

The ghost/rock scene is one for the best-ofs Dalton.

Great ep, I also have some lame childhood memories from Sanibel Island!

[Joe Lerini 7329]

I absolutely loved Besser's Fred Schneider impression. I laughed SO HARD at that sketch.

[St.Krebs 52]

Barely 10 minutes into this ep and cracking up. Dad Van fan now for sure

[AlmostAGhost 2718]

Def just adding to the chorus... Dad Van was terrific. Great job! Whatever that contest was, you were worthy winners for sure. Hope you can come back on another time. That Netflix Disney thing was my fave.

Tim Meadows has to be talking about Meteor Crater, right?
