Booking Overview

A comedian-led show where Tom Kelly (who “refuses to niche down”) asks direct, offbeat questions while interviewing real people—often local public figures—about contentious community issues. It’s a good booking target for guests who can handle candid, sometimes silly, but still substantive conversations about civic life and culture.
