Nerd Rage: The Great Debates!

In our last release of 2022, Marc continues digging into the treasure chest for more of that sweet Nerd Rage content. Recorded earlier this year, this very special unreleased episode of Nerd Rage sees Kristee Ono, Nazelah Jamison, and Becca Henry discussing the idea of "strong female characters" in a very insightful roundtable discourse, free of Abrigo's stupid-ass puns and adversarial debate. Enjoy, and get ready to HAVE CIVIL CONVERSATION!Produced by Komedio ComedyTickets for the last Nerd Rage Live at SF Sketchfest 2022 can be found HERE.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
