TOK - MARCH 17 - COMEDIAN TOMMY AMADO

Imagine you're making your way down a small corridor underground, and as you go, the ceiling is getting lower and lower. Four feet high. Three feet high. Then you look up and see that on the pipes just above your head there are RATS. You can feel their tails slapping against your face.

Regular listeners to Larry Izzo's Thrill of the Kill podcast know that this is par for the course and when he sits down with comedian Tommy Amado, the two swap stories of close encounters of the RAT kind. Plus we relive with Tommy some of his first harrowing encounters on stage, how his mother cured his writer's block and how his sister found out she was married to a jewel thief.
