<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve laughed this much in months, and I have &#8220;This American Life Live&#8221; to thank.</p>]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/"><img class="aligncenter" title="American Life " src="http://www.bam.org/viewdocument.aspx?did=8791" alt="" width="580" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve laughed this much in months, and I have <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/ThisAmerLife" target="_blank">&#8220;This American Life Live&#8221;</a> to thank.</p>
<p>On Thursday night, I went to watch a live broadcast of the popular radio show on the big screen at Tinseltown in Oklahoma City. According to the show&#8217;s website, the <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/cinema" target="_blank">first live show was held in 2009 </a>and more than 50,000 people came out to theaters across the world to see it. <span id="more-4101"></span></p>
<p>Joining other listeners, or should I say viewers, I turned up to see what host Ira Glass had in store for us all. One thing&#8217;s for sure, he definitely didn&#8217;t disappoint.</p>
<p>To drop a few hints, the show included musical stylings from OK GO, comedic dance performances,  captivating storytelling, an unexpected musical performance from a pop diva and NPR Fresh Air Host Terry Gross robbing a bank.</p>
<p>Yes, that&#8217;s right. Terry Gross robbed a bank. Or at least she did in Mike Birbiglia&#8217;s short film for the show. Watch the video below to see what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p><code><object width="550" height="360" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YTVFNZKuN-g?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="550" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YTVFNZKuN-g?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></code></p>
<p>It was a fun show, and the audience even got to participate in some of the segments. I won&#8217;t give anything away, but I recommend downloading the Android and iPhone app beforehand. If you don&#8217;t have one of these devices, don&#8217;t worry. You&#8217;ll have plenty to do, too.</p>
<p>As much as I liked the music and artistic expression, a stand-up routine sticks out in my mind as one of the best segments of the night. Comedian Tig Notaro had a hilarious routine about running into a late &#8217;80s pop star several times and complimenting her voice. You&#8217;ll just have to watch the show to see who it is.</p>
<p>Some theaters are expected to hold an encore screening of the show at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. If you missed it once, don&#8217;t let it happen again. Look for tickets <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/cinema" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
