Cool Beans Comedy

Listen to the Cool Beans U stand up comedy Q&A session featuring Delanie Fischer as she talks about her experiences and gives advice to a room full of aspiring comics!

Delanie Fischer started doing stand-up at UC Santa Barbara, where she frequently took the stage at Laughology, a student-run comedy show. After graduation, she immersed herself in the Los Angeles comedy scene, co-producing and co-hosting The Nine Drink Minimum, which quickly became one of the most popular live shows in LA, featuring some of the biggest names in comedy from the comfort of her mother’s living room. A graduate of The Second City Conservatory and UCB Improv, Delanie co-created, co-produced, and co-starred in the improvised web series, Two Inches Apart, which was nominated for best comedic ensemble at LA Webfest.

Delanie has been featured on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly and was a series regular on Fox’s Laughs. Her other TV appearances include Fox's Punchline, Hulu’s Stand Up and Deliver, Lifetime’s Prank My Mom, VH1’s Walk of Shame Shuttle, and WEtv’s Bye Felicia. This fall, you’ll also be able to catch her appearing in a film she co-wrote, which is set to air on the Lifetime Movie Network.

Delanie performs nationally and internationally at clubs, colleges, festivals, theatres, and military events. Formerly a creative consultant on a Nickelodeon TV show now in its third season, she is currently the co-host of the Self-Helpless podcast with fellow comedians Taylor Tomlinson and Kelsey Cook.

Despite these accomplishments, Delanie’s mother is convinced that she will never give her grandchildren, and is currently seeking them elsewhere.

Taylor Tomlinson started doing stand up comedy at just sixteen years old, when she realized that her quiet, sarcastic asides were not being adequately appreciated by her peers. Her self-deprecating charm and conversational wit have made her a favorite at comedy clubs, colleges, corporate events, and other suspicious, rented spaces across the country. She was featured in her own regular segment ("Young as Hell") on Laughs on FOX season 1 and can now be seen hosting the show every week. She was a top ten finalist on season 9 of NBC's Last Comic Standing and can be seen on the upcoming season of Adam Devine's House Party on Comedy Central.¹

Kelsey Cook’s quick wit and relatable observations create an easy connection with her audiences. She’s the daughter of an International Yo-Yo Champion and a Professional Foosball player, which made for a humor-filled life at a young age.  She moved to Los Angeles from Seattle and has spent the last year touring 50+ dates with Jim Norton. She recently started splitting her time with New York, where she is a paid regular at The Comedy Cellar, The Stand, Gotham Comedy Club and New York Comedy Club.
