Capital Laughs Presents The Comedy Shuffle

Unlike every other comedy show you've ever been to, The Comedy Shuffle will always keep you laughing.

Unlike every other comedy show you've ever been to, The Comedy Shuffle never has bad jokes.

"That's impossible."

NAY!

At The Comedy Shuffle, a comic (any comic) does jokes while a seasoned comic (also lit and w/ a mic) interrupts them. If their joke doesn't initially work, the Shuffler's burns do.

The Shuffler can end their set at any time (if it's not going well), or let the comic go a little longer to find some brand new material (in a supportive, but accountable atmosphere).

It's not mean. It's not. Okay. It's a little mean. But, it's fun and constructive too.

SOLD OUT: Randy Feltface

International sensation Randy Feltface’s live show is a high energy existential crisis, full of biting observations, razor sharp crowd work and rapid arm movements.

Since beginning his comedy career in Melbourne, Australia in 2005, Randy Feltface has written and performed eight solo stand-up comedy shows, released three comedy specials, played sold out seasons in London and New York and been nominated for Best Comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He made his US television debut on NBC’s Bring The Funny in 2019 and has been invited to perform at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal on four separate occasions.

In 2010 Randy joined forces with musical comedian Sammy J to create Ricketts Lane, which won Best Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and went on to become a television series of the same name, airing in 2015 on ABC TV in Australia, Seeso in the US and Netflix in the UK. Randy's role in Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane earned him an AACTA Award nomination for best performer in a comedy series, the first non-human performer to be recognised in this category. He opened his most recent show Modus Operandy at the Sydney Opera House as part of the 2019 Just For Laughs Festival before shows in London, Amsterdam and an extensive North American tour. Randy’s live show is a high energy existential crisis, full of biting observations, razor sharp crowd work and rapid arm movements.

Jason Weems

with Mike Brown

A native of Baltimore, Jason Weems’ engaging & conversational style on stage leaves audiences feeling like they’ve just finished talking to a close friend. It also simultaneously acts as free therapy for him.

Jason has been seen at the most prestigious invitation-only comedy festival in the world, The Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, and reached the top 100 and semi-finalist rounds on two separate seasons of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. His first hour-long comedy special, entitled “Vol. 1: Intellectual Property,” was filmed in his hometown and released independently.

In 2017, Jason was a finalist at the HBO sponsored American Black Film Festival Comedy Competition in Miami. On December 1, 2018 Jason filmed his brand new comedy special “Jason Weems: Unknown” that will be released nationally in 2019. His live show is truly one of a kind, and tailor fit to each unique crowd. In conjunction with standup, Jason can be heard in the popular serialized podcast “First Day Back”, where he is the subject of the newly released Season 3.

Michael Palascak

Michael Palascak is a comedian who grew up in Indiana and now lives 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, The Tonight Show, Letterman, 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. www.michaelpalascak.com

Shane Todd

I'm fuming you even need to look at this. I'm a stand up comedian, writer, podcaster & actor from Northern Ireland. I perform all over the world and usually bring my own almond milk to all shows because if I don't I'll get a poorly tummy. This year will be my sixth hour long solo show, I've played at a lot of festivals and have supported Bill Burr on tour.

I host the Tea With Me podcast (Apple UK Top 40) and co-host Boy Town with my uncle Dave Elliott.

I currently host the Shane Todd Show on BBC radio and have acted and written for over a dozen programmes on UK television. Later this year my first full solo series, Previously With Shane Todd, will air on BBC.

For the last decade I've been writing and uploading regular online sketches as myself and a wide range of characters. Most are just me with a slightly different outfit.

Got It From My Mama

Got It From My Mama Podcast is the hit new Bravo Reality show… although Andy Cohen hasn’t picked it up yet, so for now it’ll just be a weekly podcast with hosts Tori Piskin (MTV’s Wild ’N Out, Refinery29, Bustle) and her mom Lulu Piskin, a professional fitness instructor. As a listener, you will feel like you are part of their relatable yet dysfunctional family. Think of them like the New York City Jewish version of the Kardashians. You will hear about their lives in NYC, from Lulu‘s aloof behavior of accidentally stealing someone else's car, to over-sharing her daughter’s dating life to everyone at Bloomingdales. As someone near the big 30, Tori dishes on her scrambled life of dating, being dyslexic, dealing with an autoimmune disease, and her untraditional comedy career. So, pop a drug of choice and listen to this perfectly imperfect family. We have been featured on We've been featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Pix11 and we've been lucky enough to have a lot of fun celebrity guests like Michael Rapaport, RHOP Monique Samuels, Rachel Uchitel, Comedian Jared Fried and we were on the new bachelorette host Kaitlyn Bristowe's podcast, Off the Vine.
