When it comes to producing a comedy show, it’s ideal that you have someone who loves comedy just as much as the performers do, but, for their own reasons, would rather not take the stage and just work behind the scenes. Olivia Amerling has emerged as a go-to NYC comedy producer with three weekly shows on her plate, Seance Comedy at Easy Lover, I Made You a Playlist at Three Diamond Door and Drule at Fette Sau, after just being a hardcore comedy fan that would show up at as many shows as she possibly could. We go through NYC comedy, especially neighborhood specific NYC comedy, and break down what she does to make her shows staples in New York

Also, “hot” takes on Mo’Nique getting a hour Netflix special, the passing of Jak Knight, and more.

Follow Olivia @olivemartini on IG as well as her shows @seancecomedy, @playlistcomedy, and @drulecomedy.

Last night, Joel McHale participated in a bit called the Mo’Lympics, a metaphorical obstacle course through the career of film and TV star Mo’Nique on an episode of Billy On The Street.

For whatever reason, McHale vs. the Mo’Nique obstacle course turned into McHale vs. Billy Eichner in a thoroughly entertaining verbal match the likes of which should be in a roast of either one of them.

Watch it here.
