Recorded weekly in the NEPA Scene Studio in the basement of Center City Print in downtown Scranton, the award-winning NEPA Scene Podcast presents honest, uncensored interviews and in-depth discussions about regional arts, entertainment, and the issues that matter to Northeastern Pennsylvania.

In Episode 211, we sat down with local stand-up comedians Billy Kraser, Rob Random, Seth Drake, and Ayo Rob, who are all part of the new PA Comedy Troupe premiering on Friday, Feb. 28 at The Bar and Company in Olyphant. In their first interview, we talked about how they got started in comedy, developing their sets at open mics and local shows, how Billy made his disability part of his act, finding venues for stand-up, their plans for PACT, the area’s sense of humor, and more.
