“Print Not Dead!” At least not to some of us. With e-book readers on the rise and bookstores going out of style like guilty verdicts, it makes you wonder if a hardback will soon be a thing of the past.

When I first spotted Rene Dellefont at the Euclid Yacht Club, he was sitting on a stool, vodka soda in hand. The seasoned improvisor of Dad’s Garage and organizer of the EARL’s Catch 23, Rene, not one to tire of performing, had just returned from a 10-day improv festival in Canada. “I got to be on stage with a goat,” he told me. Before getting to the meaty stuff—bombing, heckling, and kissing girls—I wanted to know if the goat had told any jokes.
