In this episode, Eric is joined by Jonathan Kidder! Jonathan is a “kidder”, through and through - bringing comedy through character, as a puppeteer, content creator, and comedian. His big claim to fame is as a puppet character, Busy the Bee, on Waffles + Mochi on Netflix! The L.A. Gay Scene knows Jonathan as Miss Phoenix, The Ultimate Party Foul: Poolside Tarot Card reader by Merman Kidder, and through his party portraits he calls “Kidder-atures”, Kidder makes things fun using the power of personification and character to help him keep track of time!

“Humor, for me, is a version of pizzazz!”
“Humor is about imperfection and change and being present; perfection and perfectionism is, ‘you can’t have perfection and change.’”
“Nobody doesn’t have an ass.”
