The mission, Jeremy says, is 'to run the highest quality show possible while also giving younger comics a chance to get their start.' That means investing in top-tier lighting and A/V systems, designing a room that works for both performers and audiences and creating a space where comedians can do regular spots, headline and even record specials.

No one could accuse Fleming of tailoring his act to please a conventional audience. His stage attire lies somewhere between "androgynous hipster" and "clown," and his only criteria for a premise appears to be "What does my brain fixate on?" He expects his audience to keep up with any cultural reference his Massachusetts-born, millennial, Skidmore arts-graduate brain might make without ever stopping to explain what, say, "Gatsby-esque" might mean in the context of Bitmoji.

The women in Krystal's family have always been funny, she says; her mother was no exception. But as well as being hilarious she also struggled with mental illness, and life in Krystal's childhood was chaotic. With very little money, the family would move from place to place, Krystal would miss months of school and often be left to take care of her younger sister alone.

Currently a New York City comic, McBee has a delivery that is reminiscent of an earlier time when comics tried to get everyone to laugh, instead of just one side of the aisle. Growing up pre-WiFi, McBee has a deep, heartfelt wisdom and down-home vibe from growing up in Toledo, Ohio, that shines through his performance. With numerous national appearances on Gotham Comedy Live and FOX, McBee has written for VH1's Hip Hop Honors, MTV's VMAs and The Golden Globes.

For someone best known as an actor, Bradley Cooper's core interest as a filmmaker is perhaps unsurprising. Thus far, he has been entirely consumed by examinations of performance-first digging into a pop musician's stratospheric career climb in A Star Is Born, then wrestling with Leonard Bernstein's desire to reimagine classical music in . Both movies were hefty pieces of entertainment, filled with love, death, and grand human experiences. His newest, the fetching

Christopher Titus is a powerful weapon for the forces of progress and humanity. He's genuine, sincere, incredibly funny and boy has he been through it. His everyman, working class image allows him to deliver sharp material about bigotry being idiotic (all forms of bigotry, he gets into details), in a way that those who most need to hear it are likely to hear it without jamming their fingers in their ears while yelling "OH NO! THE WOKE!!!"
