We love DIY stand-up comedy shows. They are really as grass roots as it gets. It’s even better when those shows gets wings to reach a wider audience. So it’s great news that Brooklyn’s Live @ The Apt and Above Average are teaming up to co-produce FIVE all-new episodes of the web series plus special content. Live @ The Apt was created by Drew Miller, Nick Cherneff and Dan Hurwitz in 2013 to give New York’s up-and-coming stand-up comicss a digital platform to show off their handiwork. The exclusive installment of the popular series will feature performances from, you guessed it, the hottest up-and-coming comedians in existence. They include Hasan Minhaj (The Daily Show), Mark Normand (Conan), Sean Patton (Comedy Central’s The Half Hour), Phoebe Robinson (Late Night With Seth Meyers), Beth Stelling (Jimmy Kimmel Live!), and Brandon Wardell (VICE’s Flophouse). Episodes of this summer series will be released every other Thursday through July, rotating between new episodes of “7 Minutes in Heaven.” Woohoo!
