Vinny Thomas lets his characters speak to him, whether he's playing a pigeon at Pride or Clarence Thomas's grandson. He joins Mo this week to discuss his viral comedy videos, his dream of hosting a Jeff Corwin-style show about animals, and his absolutely, one hundred percent neutral opinions on a certain early 2000s reality TV host.

By the age of three, comedian Ruby Karp had made her Upright Citizens Brigade debut. By the age of ten, she was performing stand-up across New York City. Now in her mid-twenties, she's settling into her comedic voice—and doing so with the maturity and grace of someone who's been working on their craft for more than half their life. Ruby joins Mo this week to discuss her digital footprint, T.J.Maxx platitudes, and why she's naming names in her new solo show "I Don't Trust Adults."

Ruby's on Instagram and TikTok @rubykarp, and you can see her show now through May 3 at Soho Playhouse in New York.

She'll also be dropping by Good Get's One of Us with Fin and Chris next week, so make sure you're subscribed for another delightful hour with her!

Comedian Kyle Ayers feels funniest when he's not in control. But after brain surgery for Trigeminal neuralgia, he wondered whether he could be funny at all.

He joins Mo this week to discuss how he's reclaimed a sense of adventure on stage, why he thinks stand-up is becoming a more patient art form, and what it was like to perform in an Edinburgh plague crypt.

Kyle revels in the fact that his comedy isn't always legible to audiences scrolling on social media, but lucky for Brooklyn listeners, he'll be performing his solo show Hard to Say at Union Hall this Saturday, April 5. The show's sold out but there'll be a standby line!

You can follow Kyle on Instagram @kyleayers, and make sure to listen to his podcast Never Seen It, where comedians (including Mo!) rewrite famous movies they've never seen.

For Parvati Shallow, life is a game—and she's playing it authentically. She joins Mo this week to discuss what it's been like to take control of her own narrative after nearly two decades of appearing on reality TV competitions, how she creates a genuine rapport with on-screen allies, and why there's more to survival than fight or flight.

You can follow Parvati on Instagram @pshallow. Make sure to pre-order her forthcoming memoir Nice Girls Don't Win, and subscribe to her podcast of the same name.

Writer and actor Jeffery Self isn't afraid to let go—whether he's pursuing a creative path that doesn't feel generative or reflecting on an early project of his. He writes, too, with a reflexive self-awareness, and an openness that's as vulnerable as it is steady-handed. This week, he joins Mo to discuss treating mental health as a perpetual roommate, finding creative elders, and channeling Jacqueline Susann.

You can follow Jeffery on Instagram @jefferyself, and make sure to read—and listen to!—Self-Sabotage, out now from Harper Collins.

Artmaking can help heal us emotionally; for Kate Helen Downey, that healing process has also been physical. Kate's spent more than two decades living with severe period cramps, but it was only when she picked up a microphone for her new podcast CRAMPED that doctors started to take her seriously.

This week, she joins Mo to discuss how she shows herself grace when pain limits her productivity, what excites her about creative problem-solving, and why getting a diagnosis hasn't marked the end of her search for care.

You can follow Kate on Instagram @katehelendowney, on TikTok @kateiscramped, and at katehelendowney.com. And make sure to listen to CRAMPED!

Tim Platt is a creative polymath: he can write songs, he can draw, and he can commit so hard to a bit that he ends up infiltrating a multi-level marketing scheme for healthy energy drinks. At the heart of all his work is a desire for collaboration, and for over a decade, he's been Mo's other half in the comedy duo Pasic & Platt.

Tim joins Mo this week to reflect on their creative partnership, his favorite rhymes, and his new comedy album Teeth Like Beak.

You can follow Tim on Instagram @iamkingbozo, and keep up with his work at timplattcomedy.com. Make sure to listen to his album Teeth Like Beak, as well as Rude Tales of Magic and Oh These, Those Stars of Space!

It’s one thing for an audience to separate the art from the artist. But what if an artist wants to keep aspects of their life separate from their art? Sasheer Zamata has spent over a decade navigating this precarious balance, from her early days on SNL to her recent turn in Agatha All Along. She joins Mo this week to discuss how she stays authentic, why she likes working with her friends, and the thrill of finding new ways to express herself.

You can follow Sasheer on Instagram @thesheertruth, and keep up with her work at sasheer.com.

For actor and comedian Chris Grace, writing a solo show isn't the hard part. Neither is performing it. It's the feeling that he should always be doing more—more promotion, more show dates, or more new material—that he has to contend with.

This week, Chris and Mo get into the complexities of staging a solo show—especially one at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival—treating the audience like a scene partner, and laughing in the face of death.

If you want to learn more about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Mo's experience with their solo show (which inspired this whole podcast!) make sure to revisit our first season, where Mo chats exclusively with Fringe performers like Demi Adejuyigbe, Julio Torres, and Cat Cohen.
