About This Show
Hot Dish! is a comedy cooking interview show that dishes up hot goss and hot food with little skill, but a lot of heart, combining cooking and comedy. Geoffrey Baer will join us for cooking live on stage and high stakes trivia. You do not want to miss this smoke! We mean show!
Hot Dish! Is a pandemic project that started out in Lauren Hooberman's kitchen and then moved to podcast form and beyond. Recorded recently at The Den Theatre, Lauren is now joined by fellow Chicago comics, Colleen Brennan and Amy Sumpter. While the food is cooking, (yes, it's real food) they will run a high stakes trivia challenge. You may win a prize! It might be amazing or it might be disposable underwear. We guarantee you will laugh a lot while Lauren interviews our very special guest. Hot Dish! promises to fully entertain you!
