There’s so much music and film in New Orleans, we could do a weekly show exclusively about show business. Even if we were to do that, this edition of Out to Lunch would still be out of the ordinary. Peter’s lunch guests are in very non-traditional aspects of the entertainment industry.

New Orleans is home to all kinds of new and innvoative entrepreneurial businesses. Comedy and magic hearken back to an age and centuries past that pre-date the internet and NOLA the brain-gain, but Janet and Mike are taking both comedy and magic to, literally, places they have never been.
