Episode #400

For this celebrity video episode, Travis Zinzer and Lara Smith (with special guest introduction by Katana the Tripod) talk with Valerie about:

How Lara's famous "no" sent Valerie to Comedy Wham and sparked 400 episodes of conversations
Valerie's favorite pinch-me moments with Scott Thompson, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Dana Gould, with a dose of back alley dumpster-dodging to bring us down to earth.
Heartfelt notes from comics who found stages, festivals, and friends through Comedy Wham - Brendan K O'Grady & Duncan Carson, Holly Hart, Rita Patterson, Nikki Coleman, Robert May, Danna Kiel & Gretchen Dietz.
A retrospective on hundreds of episodes and memorable experiences
How Travis grew up a junior comedy fan, from Sure Thing showcases to Letterkenny interviews.

Watch the full retrospective video on YouTube. Recorded October 2026
