JJ Alexander

Returning golden ticket winner, introduced as a long-awaited return while the first bucket pull was being wrangled; opened the show with a new minute about feeling awkward at the gym. From Colorado Springs, Colorado, and works at a Dutch Bros coffee shop (two years) which he says he hates. In the interview he said he was down 16 lbs on an all-beef-and-cheese weight loss challenge and described a lifelong habit of squatting on the toilet seat rather than sitting, which became the interview's running bit. Tony and Redban teased him about a faintly Italian-sounding accent he attributed to too much backstage Diet Coke.

Past golden ticket winner cashing in his minute to open the show. Just headlined the Denver Improv for the first time and did a 90-minute set in Sioux Falls covering for Enrique Chicone. Works at Dutch Bros alongside fellow golden ticket winner Mason Bird.

Recently moved to Austin from Colorado Springs and has been doing comedy for five years. He works at Dutch Bros Coffee and solved a Rubik's Cube on stage in under 80 seconds. Tony awarded him a golden ticket at the end of his interview.
