It's Broadway Bitch is a place for the theatre folk to gather and dilly dally. Your host, comedian Casey Balsham, will ask the hard hitting questions like what jellicle cat are you most attracted to, and what happens if you have to use the bathroom when they call places?
It's BB's goal is to have some laughs with the Broadway community and aims to avoid questions about how you got started and why you wanted to be an actor. We're more interested in your Taco Bell order and if you find child actors as creepy as we do. The show draws inspiration from
Between Two Ferns and Chicken Shop Date with a little Watch What Happens Live mixed in so you know there's gonna be juicy gossip…but at it's heart, it's a love letter to theatre.
