Christian comedy is big business, but exists outside of the mainstream. We visit with some of the comics who are trying to bring laughs in His name. Comedy expert Kliph Nesteroff travels across North America to meet veteran comedians and newcomers alike who help reveal the craft, process, and humanity of stand-up.
Queer comics have historically been hidden from sight. Kliph wants to find out where the scene is at now, if things have changed, and what it's like working as an LGBTQ comic today.
We visit comedy veteran and man of 10,000 noises Michael Winslow and some young talent to trace the struggles and roadblocks facing comedians on their journeys to the top.
Bombing strikes fear in the heart of every stand-up. But what does it mean to bomb? Kliph hits the open mic scene for answers. With help from Attell, Lange, Birbiglia... and Hedberg.
Can comedy be taught in a classroom? We explore this question with the help of iconoclastic comic Doug Stanhope and visit with those trying to teach the craft of comedy.
