Multiple Talking Women is A satirical sketch comedy half-hour podcast inspired by the consistently sold-out live theater improv show, “Happy Hour” created and performed by Main Company Groundlings Ariane Price, Lauren Burns, and Lisa Schurga.
“Hosted” by Ariane, Lauren and Lisa playing characters of three unlikely friends with completely different social views: leftist “Lana Brown” (played by Ariane Price), right-leaning “Felicity Bramblebush” (played by Lauren Burns) and their dry, inexperienced producer “Paula Gerkin” (played by Lisa Schurga) who interview real celebrity guests.
