KT #53

Her set focused on nerdy arguments about Buck Rogers and Batman that resulted in neighbors calling the police. Home city is San Francisco and she has been doing comedy for at least a few months. She is a self-described 'black nerd' who performs a weekly segment with her boyfriend Ed Greer.

Her set discussed a formative experience with a female friend that led her to question her sexuality. She is from a religious background with a preacher father and eight brothers, tony advised her to lean into the internal conflict between her upbringing and her new experiences.

He has been writing material for years but only recently started performing on stage. A film student living in Los Angeles who was adopted from a foreign country. The panel was fascinated by his unique, almost robotic or 'deaf-like' vocal cadence.

Originally from Philadelphia, he had just moved to LA the weekend of the show, he admitted to driving cross-country while using various substances including amphetamines and cocaine. This was his first time performing in a proper comedy club despite doing comedy on and off for seven years.

He discussed the relief of finding out his father's heart attack wasn't hereditary because the man was actually his stepdad, a former Navy submariner originally from a small town in North Carolina. He is an avid bowler with a high score of 236.

A University of Florida dropout celebrating her one-year anniversary in stand-up comedy, her minute focused on a childhood memory of a neglected kid wearing jean shorts in winter, tony suggested she lean more into her 'trashy Florida' roots for future sets.

The panel helped her refine the joke by focusing on the 'slaving away' irony rather than specific ingredients, a regular known for her goofy observational style. Her set this week was a critique of the laziness associated with crock-pot cooking.
