This week we have Scout Durwood taped live at the iconic Esther's Follies on 6th Street in Austin, Texas!

As comedy continues to expand its boundaries to include a broader variety of voices, Scout Durwood is shining in the spotlight. Scout knows what it’s like to be the outsider and has created a place for herself onstage with an act unlike any other. She seamlessly blends original songs, absurd dance, and provocative stand up comedy into one hilarious performance.

This week we have Jessa Reed taped live at the American Comedy Company in the Gaslamp District of San Diego, California!

Jessa spent her childhood going back and forth between parents, one of which was a drug addict. She married early, had a child, and started hitting open mics. She left her husband and started doing stand-up full time in 1997. Shortly after that, her life took a turn when she became addicted to crystal meth. Through her recovery from her addiction, she found her way back to comedy. Jessa’s honesty about dealing with drug addiction, poking fun at her not so distant past, and motherhood brings down the house. We also get a revealing look at what her life looked at when she was an addict and what it looks like now.

This week we have Shane Mauss taped live at the Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota! 

Like any real Midwesterner, Shane is riddled with depression and was never supposed to talk about it... until now. Shane takes a deep, yet comedic look at traditionally taboo subjects like suicide and depression. His act is entirely self-deprecating and personal, and he uses his own struggle with mental health as a vehicle for expression and healing. But much like his personal life, he balances out his act with other topics like CrossFit and science.

This week we have Paris Sashay taped live at the DC Improv in Washington D.C.!

Paris grew up in a large family in the D.C. area. Paris was always the class clown, earning detentions and finally ended up in Special Ed. She got into college and, after two years, realized that wasn’t for her. She returned home only to be encouraged by friends and family to give comedy a shot. After killing at one open mic, she never looked back. Paris’ takes on racism, feminism, and family slay the crowd at her home club. We also get an inside look at how after she was assaulted at a comedy club, she unintentionally became a hero to women in D.C. and on the comedy scene.

This week we have Mohanad Elshieky taped live at Curious Comedy in Portland, Oregon! 

Mohanad is living the American dream. He recently fled his war-torn homeland of Libya and is pursuing a career in comedy. As an immigrant from a no-fly country, his keen observations about American life are razor sharp and unforgettably funny. While many comedians perform for the love of the spotlight, Mohanad is performing for survival, because he knows he can’t go back home.

This week we have Becky Braunstein taped live at Curious Comedy in Portland, Oregon! 

Becky is literally one in a million. As an Alaskan Jew, she has hilarious stories of just how bizarre it is to live in the Last Frontier while still trying to observe the Sabbath. After an unexpected life change, she made the move from Alaska to Portland and tried stand-up comedy. Now a survivor, she’s taking the Portland comedy scene by storm.
