A must listen for comedy nerds and new standups alike.

Absolutely incredibly, One of the freshest formats of any podcast I've heard, this show will teach up and coming comics a lot of things about writing and performing, as well as hear some awesome comics explore new material. If you are like me, you spent a long time avoiding doing stand up comedy, simply afraid because "I'll never be as funny as those guys". This will give you some new perspective on the art that is standup. Its very humanizing to hear big comics both get big laughs, and try jokes that fall flat, and I mean that in the best way possible. It showed me to not be afraid to try new things. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Too much dang fun!!

As a comic, this show is so refreshing to not only listen to, but to perform on. I'd do it every week if I could. Go see it live if you're in LA!

Awesome

As a young comedian myself, it's awesome to see (or at least hear) comedians I respect getting up and trying brand-new material in front of a live audience. Really gives a unique perspective on the process of performing comedy, experiencing a joke in its infancy and listening to the comedians discuss their sets afterward.
