This month we actually are doing something different with the bonus episode.  This month, I discuss the roots of the comedy that would eventually morph into the Matthew Filipowicz Show with someone I’ve been doing comedy with since 1997, TMFS writer/performer Tim Grimes.

For you nerds out there, it really is a prequel to the Matthew Filipowicz Show! A TMFS origin story, if you will!  We talk our early days of doing sketch comedy in Chicago, then New York, first as O.C.Y.C., then eventually as the Accountants of Homeland Security.

So what are you waiting for?  Become a member today and start enjoying the fruits of knowing you are truly a Bad-Ass!
