Customer Reviews
Dionne Joyner-Weems
Been a Jason Weems fan since I first saw him at Arlington Cinema & Draft House years ago. Now I’m a Dionne Joyner-Weems fan. Great episode everyone!
Behind the scenes of stand up
This show is a fresh take on stand up comedy, through the eyes of those who live them. Also love the dynamic between Laura and Angel!
Amazing idea, great execution. This will be great
