Andy Sandford is a comedian who got funny in Atlanta, then moved to New York City, where he established himself as one if NY’s top tier comics. In 2021, Andy moved back to Atlanta to record his latest album with 800lbs Gorilla Records. It’s called “Basket Case” and comes out June 10th. Andy has performed his jokes on Conan and The Late Late Show with James Corden. Andy’s debut album, Me the Whole Time; was one of Splitsider’s “9 Best Standup Albums of The Year.“ His hour special, “Shameful Information,” is currently featured on Amazon Prime. Sandford even played an animated version of himself on Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The Village Voice called him, “one of New York’s comedic gems;” a nice gesture, but not enough to keep him in New York. Andy is out of Atlanta now (sorry NY).

Gabbie Watts is a stand-up comedian based in Atlanta. She’s a regular at the Laughing Skull Lounge and has been a featured performer at Resurgens Fest, Lookout Comedy Festival, Red Clay Comedy Festival, and Fountain City Comedy Festival. She also hosts the iHeart podcast “Cadaver Gals.”

Gilbert Lawand is an Atlanta based comedian who tours nationally and has a hilariously likable, deconstructive approach to stand up. He produces the annual Red Clay Comedy Festival which takes place in Atlanta every September. Gilbert has performed in several festivals including Bridgetown, High Plains, and the Laughing Skull Festival where he was a finalist. He’s a frequent opener for Rory Scovel and has also opened for Dave Chappelle.

Every Friday at 10pm Shawn Carter and Joe Bridges host this show where they invite people (comedians or audience) on-stage to argue ridiculous questions.

Each week we pick a different topic and ask questions like this:

80's Movies - Would you rather run into an American Werewolf in London or Killer Clowns from Outerspace?

Board Games - What would be the better crossover, Monopoly the Movie or Boogie Nights the Board Game?

Fall - Would you rather pumpkins bleed when you carve them or leaves scream as they fall from the trees?

Michael Palascak is a comedian who grew up in Wabash, Indiana, began his career in Chicago and now resides in LA. He performed on both The Late Late Show with James Corden and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the same year. He has over 1 million views on YouTube. In addition, his resume includes A Little Late with Lilly Singh, Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Conan, has a Comedy Central Half Hour special, and was a Top 5 Finalist on Last Comic Standing where one judge claimed, “My first impression of Michael was a great likability. This is a guy that could star in a sitcom.”

Michael’s likability allows him to relate to his audiences in a real way which sets up the huge laughs he gets from his sharp, personal material. Consistently writing and performing, this summer Michael released both a new album— The Internet Live through 800 Pound Gorilla and a new stand-up special on the Dry Bar app— 1984. Available for free streaming.

Drew Hunt of The Chicago Reader wrote about Michael, “In a lot of ways, he represents the ideal antidote to the sort of unbridled cynicism that pervades much of contemporary stand-up.” Michael’s optimism continues in the new National Lampoon series — The Bright Side where he takes a positive stance on a negative topic streaming on YouTube.
