Every Thursday, Andrew and Evan Gregory (of The Gregory Brothers) are joined by a special guest to revisit, review, and revise a song of their choice, and then offer an improved "punched-up" version.

Punch Up The Jam

Wayne Brady and Jonathan Mangum are improv nerds! They’ve made stuff up for shows like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and “Let’s Make A Deal”, and now they’re bringing that same energy to the podcast world with WHAT IF?!

On the podcast, Wayne and Jonathan invite smart, funny, and engaging guests from the worlds of comedy, science, & pop culture to have a conversation. The results are spontaneous scenes, songs, and riffs that explore the WHAT IFs of life, the multiverse, and everything!

Improvisation is a conversation baby! No script, no net, just WHAT IF?!

Subscribe to What If on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and check out new episodes every Thursday.

Introducing: Wayne Brady's What If?! with Jonathan Mangum

Meet the hosts of Punch Up the Jam: Demi Adejuyigbe and Miel Bredouw are comedians, writers, and best friends, with absolutely no qualifications to “fix” popular songs— but that won’t stop them from trying. PUNCH UP THE JAM is a show cataloguing their descent into madness as they review, rewrite, and remix all the hits you love to hate, or just love (until they ruin it for you.)
