Show Notes
The St. Louis comedy scene is a busy one. Just about any night of the week, you can catch local comedians honing their sets at open-mic night, improvising madly on stage with a troupe of their closest friends or battling each other with wit and good humor as local drunks cheer. For the past three years, a three-day comedy festival has brought those disparate elements together. The Flyover Comedy Festival launched in 2017 and returns to the city’s Grove neighborhood beginning this Thursday (Nov. 7). It’s a showcase for local talent in the scene and also a chance for big names to show off their best stuff. In this segment, St. Louis on the Air host Sarah Fenske and co-founder Zach Gzehoviak discuss the festival with local comedians Kenny Kinds and Tina Dybal.
