The project is open to first-time performers, experienced comics (i.e., standup, sketch, improv, etc.), artists of all kinds, first-time writers, everyone! Yes, everyone! Yes, you -- you, who have never set foot on a stage and the very thought of standup terrifies you. Yes, you -- you, who have been a comic for more than a decade and are tired of the boring-ass, far-from-woke comedy that permeates standup.
