Guy Branum, Katie Hannigan

Cable network truTV presents some of the most innovative content currently on the air. Among its groundbreaking programming is comedy-interview hybrid “Talk Show the Game Show.” Openly gay standup comedian Guy Branum hosts the hilarious mashup, which pits funny folks against each other in a ruthless competition to see who’s the best — and most sidesplitting — talkshow guest. Branum’s sassy charm and quick wit make him the perfect anchor. Before his current gig, he was a regular panelist on variety show “Chelsea Lately.” Catch Branum Friday and Saturday, April 5 and 6, at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington. Katie Hannigan opens.
