Risk!

RISK! is a live show and podcast where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share in public. Hosted by Kevin Allison (of MTV’s The State), the RISK! podcast began in 2009 in New York City. Since then, it has exploded in popularity, receiving over 200,000 unique downloads each month, and garnering acclaim from The New York Times, Time Out New York, and the Onion AV Club. A new episode of RISK! is released every Friday, and monthly live shows take place in both New York City and Los Angeles. The RISK! Tour show has traveled to Amsterdam, Albany, Philadelphia, Austin, Portland, San Francisco, and college campuses across the USA. RISK! has featured personal stories and exclusive confessions from celebrities such as Sarah Silverman, Janeane Garofalo, Lisa Lampanelli, Kevin Nealon, Margaret Cho, Marc Maron, Lili Taylor, Adam McKay, and cast members of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart including Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac, Al Madrigal, and many more.
