We've been around since 2003, so there!</p>
<p>Listen in as Nick McGee and Jamie Scheel banter about random things as well as the origin and inception of Improv Shmimprov.  Jamie tells crazy stories of how he became a Canadian comedy legend at a 8th grade track-meet and later moved to L.A. to become a stand-up comic, only to find his greatest accomplishment in reading books.</p>
<p>This episode is rounded-out with hilarity in the last 30 minutes with some funny audio-clip highlights from recent Improv Shmimprov shows, featuring Shmimprovers: Patrick, Greg, David, Nate, Jamie and Nick.  A few clips also feature players from a challenge match against Brian, Jeff and Bin from "Off in the Corner Improv."</p></description><itunes:summary><p>Look no further, here is the premiere/pilot episode of what I'm currently calling, "ShmimCast!" -- a Podcast featuring a behind the scenes look at the cast and creators of Improv Shmimprov, Orange County's most popular late-night improv comedy show (well, by our count, we're think it is).
