>The growing standup scene around town, plus catching up with Vintage Theatre’s Bernie Cardell


In this episode of the OnStage Colorado podcast, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca take a look at the many shows up and opening around the state.


Later in the pod, Toni goes over some of his reporting in a Westword cover story about how much touring comedians love to play Denver as well as all the other comedy happening around Colorado.


Finally, Toni meets up with one of the hardest-working theatre artists in Denver, Bernie Cardell. As the artistic director at Aurora’s Vintage Theatre, Cardell keeps up a brisk pace producing, directing and even acting in shows. In fact, he recently notched 150 shows as an actor in director since coming to Denver, and he reflects on some of his favorites and the road ahead for Vintage.
