Shawtane Bowen has a complicated relationship with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Christmas has arrived early at @nosuggestionpod, this week because we.ve been given the gift of welcoming actor, professor, sketch writer, Bay area native, Harvard alumni, star of Netflix's Astronomy Club, and improv comedian, Shawtane Bowen (@champagnetaneinc). Co-host Aston Hollins (@astonhollins), and I, were delighted to spend some time catching up with our old pal, Shawtane, and chat with him about Gen X, Grace Jones, growing pains at the old UCB, the storied rise of Astronomy Club (@astronomyclubcomedy), Ethan Hawke, and much more! We also get the privilege to do some improv with Shawtane, and up with some hilarious scene of of a love-struck baker standing neck-deep in a vat of sesame seed bagels. I've wanted Shawtane to come on for so long, and he did not disappoint as a guest, so thoughtful, so down-to-earth, so funny. We believe you'll enjoy hearing this episode as much we enjoyed recording it. Get into it! You can learn more about Ralf, his comedy, his music (as Precious Gorgeous), his acting, his teaching, this podcast, find full episodes of this podcast, and more at preciousgorgeous.com! No Suggestion: An Improv Comedy Talk Show is broadcast LIVE on Radio Free Brooklyn (@radiofreebk) every Monday night at 8pm. Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review, that really helps us out.
