producing comedy

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.
