Writer-Performer Mike Albo (Hologram Boyfriends, Unitard): "It's Hard to Find Someone Who Is Ready To Sit There"

Show Notes

Dennis is joined via Zoom by writer-performer Mike Albo to talk about his new audio original Hologram Boyfriends as well as his upcoming appearance as one-third of the comedy troupe Unitard at the Cavern Club Theater in Silver Lake (March 20-22). Hologram Boyfriends, from McMilan audio, is a series of personal essays about love, sex and connection before and after the advent of the smartphone. Mike talks about why he wanted to the examine the topic, the process of writing and recording it and how once he committed to do it, all these weird things started happening to him. He also talks why Unitard, which also features Nora Burns and David Ilku, are still going strong after over 20 years. Other topics include: his failed attempts--so far--to get the domain name MikeAlbo.com back from the greedy entity who ended up with it, his meditation and chanting practices, spontaneously performing his iconic Underminer character for Tommy Hilfiger and his wife in Palm Beach, the sweet, shameful days of Manhunt.com and why he wouldn't mind ending up like Emmylou Harris.
