Chanel Ali, queen of making shit happen, is here on Jammies to blow our minds with her unbelievable grind mentality and how she stays believing in herself and achieving success! Chanel has been on Comedy Central, MTV’s Girl Code, has her own Comedy Special “Chanel No.1”, is currently taping another special, the list goes ON. Pretty much right away, we dive into the good stuff about how she has built up her mental health, self-care and manifestation routines, balancing what she gives out with what she puts in, leaving an authentic legacy she can be proud of without fear of other people’s opinions, her own anxiety, and celebrating the wins even when she’s alone. In this episode, Chanel gives out some amazingly useful tips and resources, such as the book “God, If You’re Not Up There, I’m F*cked” by Darrel Hammond, the book “Born Standing Up” by Steve Martin, and the Abortion Access Front which you can follow on Instagram and donate to as well from their linktree. Ya’ll, this episode is a serious MASTERCLASS on being a badass, so I hope you’re prepared! If not, no worries though  (you will be after your ear holes drink this in).

Shitty Craft Club founder and comedic genius Sam Reece is here on the pod this week! Sam is a performer in every sense of the word and all around badass woman pumping out unique, relatable content of her own as well as for Comedy Central, HBO Max, and the ever-elusive media company known as TikTok. And when she’s not busy being her best bedazzled self? You can find Sam gluing jewels onto anything from trash cans to Tums bottles- turning literal recyclables into Met Gala-esque accessories. Please don your most colorfully absurd sleep threads and pour some fruity tea into a wacky, thrifted mug for this sustainable queen because this one’s a ~ GEM ~ ... Do you get it? I hope you guys got that joke. If not, no worries!!

On this week’s episode, we have on the unbelievable comedian and host of Secure the Gag, Nathan Pearson! Nathan sits down in his Jane Fonda-wear to talk all things character sketches, podcasting, being authentic on social, longform comedy, day-to-day anxiety, stage performing, and of course digging into his past fame as well. Imagine if your favorite tv character came to life as a person and decided to hang out with you in their pajamas... because that is EXACTLY what this episode is!

Musical prince and host of his own New York City comedy show, John Farnsworth, plopped down to talk to me about his process in making music, what he does to bring himself back from an anxiety spiral, his worst bomb he’s ever had, and his ideal comfort pasta to eat from bed. He also gives us a taste of his warm-ups he performs alone in his room before shows as well as his desperate pantry snack preferences. On a scale of one to relatable, John is the favorite cousin we’ve never had but wish we did!!

Stand up and sketch comedian Dylan Adler drops in wearing a comforter-gown to talk about how he creates art from trauma, thriving in the support his family gives him, and his ideal meet-cute at a poke market with Tweanu Reeves. We get real when he talks about how isolating it can feel living in New York City during the pandemic and how he got through it with the help of his friends who are also in the Asian community.

Sketch comedian, radio personality and lizard QUEEN Caroline Moore stops by in her medieval nightgown to haunt me with a conversation about her parents’ talents, becoming a local celebrity in her hometown and being hazed at sleep-away camp in middle school. We get deep talking about how difficult it is being in middle school and what it’s like making sketch videos in your backyard at 3 AM.

Comedian and Late Night TV writer Vannessa Jackson and I match jammies and chat getting her first late night job during a pandemic, re-working stand-up material, and being embarrassing and young on social media. She gives us the 411 on which specific scent in a candle she lights when sitting down to write as well as staying true to yourself when people tell you to do otherwise.
