Here is the final podcast I produced for the Jim Henson Company. It may be one of my favorites. Merry Christmas to all!

I’m making a return to ‘actual theatre’ for the first time in a long time in a new show called THE LAST TELETHON.  It’s a crazy show about Jerry Lewis raising money to get his film “The Day The Clown Cried” remade.  It’s a must see.  The cast is incredible and I’m in it too.  Here’s the info:

THE LAST TELETHON

Written By & Starring Mark Amato as Jerry Lewis

I recently narrated a story called “Clockwork Fagin” by Cory Doctorow (Boing, Boing) for an episode of EscapePod.

Thanks to the awesome Mur Lafferty for asking me to narrate.

The August 15th, 2011, edition of the San Mateo Daily Journal has an article centered around my upcoming involvement in Henson Alternative’s Stuffed & Unstrung at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco.

For the record, the band was going to be called The Killer Sharks, but other than that it’s a pretty accurate article.
