In this episode of Dirt Nap City, we dive into the enigma that is Andy Kaufman. This episode unravels the life and career of the comedic genius who blurred the lines between performance and reality. From his outrageous characters like Latka Gravas to his legendary wrestling battles with Jerry Lawler, we explore the tactics that made him a legend...and sometimes, a villain. Was he a brilliant provocateur or a hilarious troll? We separate fact from fiction, with a special guest, Jarret Berenstein, a writer, comedian, and producer was a featured performer on Fox television's standup show Laughs. Jarret hosted the radio show Famous Dead People on Radio Free Brooklyn.
He performed improv with the legendary Magnet Theater house team Junior Varsity for twelve years.
