Heather Shaw is an American stand-up comedian and podcaster. She first gained mainstream public attention through her social media posts as media outlets like the New York Post and Orlando Weekly noted her physical resemblance to Jim Carrey. She released her first comedy special Alright, See Ya! (2026) and since 2023, hosts her weekly podcast Heather Shaw is Kidding and her new podcast, The Guest Spot with Heather Shaw (debuting October 2026).

Shaw's comedy combines rapid-fire pop culture references with high-energy and often queer-focused humor, shifting focus away from the physical impressions that initially garnered online notoriety. She has appeared on shows including The Today Show and The Tamron Hall Show.

Katie has the self-depreciating humor of a Midwestern tomboy. She doesn’t shy away from her Catholic upbringing, gyno appointments, anxiety and depression, her love of night snacking, or how desperately single she is. Katie has been selected as an Official Performer in Alaska’s Before U Die Festival, Amsterdamn’s Boom Chicago Comedy festival, HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, San Diego Comedy Festival, and Ladies of Laughter Festival. Before going solo on stage, she trained at Second City and iO in improv and sketch comedy, produced two award-winning webseries (Guilty and Wellness Check), and her comedy pilot scripts have landed her as a semi-finalist in Slamdance and Screencraft. But most notably, Katie is known for plotting ways to take advantage of arthritis in her knees in hopes to be an influencer for Bengay

We're breaking format this week to talk to Tyson Ritter of The All-American Rejects about his new venture, Playhouse.band & how he's attempting to disrupt the predatory ticket industry.

Traditional live music has become increasingly commercialized, with high ticket prices, corporate fees, and distant stages creating barriers between artists and their most passionate fans. After a year of touring house parties & pop up shows in alternative venues, Tyson decided to put his personal money into PlayHouse & flip the old model on its head, putting artists in control of their shows and making intimate performances accessible to everyone.

Obviously this resonates with everything we're trying to do here at the label too. So enjoy our conversation with Tyson & follow Brandie on Playhouse now - Washington DC show on June 12th, but follow or request a show somewhere else now!

We’re breaking format for a week to sit down with label mate Kristin Lytie, comedian & union organizer who just spent some time in Minneapolis to observe, learn & share lessons from the organizing against ICE happening there. If you’re a fan of what we do here at Burn This, we urge you to get involved in your community to protect your neighbors until we as a nation can abolish ICE. 

Kristin Lytie recorded her debut album, Disassociation Vacation live at Altercation Fest for Burn this Records. The album debuted at #1 on iTunes, Amazon and is featured on SiriusXM Radio. Kristin curates the comedy segment for GBUFO Fest, a 3 day punk rock festival that takes place every year in her home of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Kristin was also on the 2025 Van's Warped Tour with her Burn This Records buds.

An eternal optimist, she has worked in progressive politics for the past fifteen years as a community and union organizer. That passion has brought her back to Green Bay, Wisconsin. Her comedy is a product of her core beliefs of justice, equality and DIY ethics.
