In each episode, Nesteroff, a former standup himself with an encyclopedic knowledge of comedy, tackles areas running the gamut from bombing to breaking in, comedy classes, and niche comedy from the LGBTQ community to Christian comics -- all from a backstage perspective with some of the best comedians in the business including James Adomian, Dave Attell, Matt Besser, Mike Birbiglia, Rhea Butcher, Cameron Esposito, Dana Gould, Pete Holmes and Doug Stanhope and countless up-and-comers. In the series opener, "For the Love of God," Christian comedy is big business, but exists outside of the mainstream.
