Ngaio & Keef’s 2024 chat show

Clever and erudite, but with too much credulous President Dwayne Johnson talk

 Comedian Ngaio Bealum and cartoonist Keith Knight have in common with me the experience of living in pre tech boom San Francisco. The City through the 1990s was an accessible scene that was pregnant with creativity.

We are pure products of that San Francisco. Knight (Woke, The Knight Life) now works out of North Carolina. (He was slightly tardy on the call for fowl reasons). International Cannabis Business Conference host Bealum lives in Sacramento and pops up when and wherever on the planet that weed’s getting legalized.

Last week I talked to Bealum and Knight, from suburban Oregon, via Zoom.

Instantly on the call it becomes clear that you can’t take the Bay Area boho out of the comedian, the cartoonist or the whatever it is that I call myself doing. Set us where you may. Ultimately, we three are tellers of stories. San Francisco scribblers telling our bits of the American narrative.

And we entertain ourselves pretty well just talking.
