Talking Late Night

On this episode of Talking Late Night, Max interviews John Mangan, an actor, improviser, and host of the Village Theatre's "Pretty Late Show." John found his love of late night when he was just a kid watching David Letterman with his dad. He found his love for performing when he fake vomited in front of his fourth-grade class. Both David Letterman and fake throw-up had huge impacts on John's life. After attending college at Temple University, John moved to Atlanta and got involved with Automatic Improv. He's been a huge player in the comedy scene ever since. You can learn more about John at his website, check him out in his improvised talk show, co-hosted with Andy Coen, the "Pretty Late Show" at the Village Theatre, and definitely see him often performing around Atlanta!
