Imaginary Balls / The 2026 Premiere: Comedy with a Point
What happens when a Seinfeld writer is the last human standing in a world of his own creation? Andy Cowan launches his most ambitious session yet—a 52-minute "audio album" where spontaneous-sounding dialogue meets cinematic, scripted vignettes. Navigate the needling alongside AI Dr. K —the cloned voice of an actual therapist and Andy’s former co-host—and a rotating cast of AI guests, all written for and directed by the patient himself. In this dense, multi-layered universe, Andy remains the sole human voice at the center of it all.
