In this week’s episode, Neil Casey (Saturday Night Live), Connor Ratliff (I’m Too Fragile For This), & Jim Santangeli (The Curfew) join Abra to create a world filled with bashful nudity, misidentified men, and jellyfish on peens.
It’s a special LIVE episode of “It’s That Episode” with guests Henry Zebrowski (Murderfist), David Young (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) and Connor Ratliff (The Stepfathers) recorded at the UCBEast Theatre. Learn about Connor getting fired by Tom Hanks from Band of Brothers, meet the love of Henry's life from The Bad Girls Club, listen as David and Craig give director's commentary from their time as extras on Stella, and experience the weirdest TV crossover, when Kramer was on Mad About You.

Oh, hello! In this episode of “Make Yourself Comfy with Abra Tabak,” improv gems from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC Matt Fisher (The Law Firm), Connor Ratliff (I'm Too Fragile For This), and Tracey Wigfield (30 Rock) join Abra in getting comfy and creating a world where Goofy runs a meth lab, Lane Bryant has a gang, and the Family Circus finds a home in a butthole.

The guests will be David Young (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon), Henry Zebrowski (Murderfist) and Connor Ratliff (The Stepfathers).
