Linda is a blossoming actor and improviser that after 20 years is “getting really good at her craft”. Exhausting many efforts to become famous, she turns to YouTube in the hopes of achieving self-made stardom with her weekly show, Saturdays with Linda, where she gives advice to fledgling actors. While filming, Linda is diagnosed with cancer. The result is a hilarious look into the mind of a delusional woman who must come to grips with her lack of talent, her artistic limitations, and the realization that she will never become a leading lady. She is joined by her equally untalented sideman Tony, who wears a loud shirt to compensate for his own shortcomings.

A comedic one-woman show about how Jennette’s mom’s death went from being the worst thing that ever happened to her to the best thing.

Jennette McCurdy got her start in child acting, which by her late teen years had brought her success (she starred in Nickelodeon's hit show iCarly and her own spin-off, Sam & Cat). She went on to star in the Netflix series Between, and had a short-lived country music career with Capitol Records Nashville. Despite her outside success, McCurdy felt ashamed of 90% of her resume and ultimately unfulfilled, so she turned to alcohol, but since that didn't work, she quit acting and began pursuing writing/directing in 2016. She has written/directed a pilot and four short films. Her work has been featured in/on The Hollywood Reporter, Short of the Week, Florida Film Festival, Salute Your Shorts, and many more. She has written for Huffington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

During the male comedian’s set, the female comedian he’s paired with can interrupt him with commentary, riffs, and dole out arbitrary strikes. Once the man’s set is (finally) done, the woman does her set and you better believe the man has to just sit and watch quietly.

This month’s featured pairs are:

Valerie Tosi & Jeff May

Fizaa Dosani & Neeraj Srinivasan

Heather Thomson & Paul Danke

This Month's resident ally is John Michael Bond.

Hosted by a pair who bonded over their love of interrupting men, Sarah Mowrey (The Drop Comedy Club) and Mary Jane French (Thrillist).
