You travel back 100,000 years to a cave that will eventually be discovered by archeologists. What do you put on the wall to mess with? John Heffron took a break between sets at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, Georgia to join the Comedy Roundtable and answer these and other great lightning round questions, and to discuss his thirty plus year comedy career.
