A fast-paced mix of comedy, commentary, games, and conversation, this variety and panel show brings together some of the most entertaining progressive voices on the internet and beyond. Featuring comedians, writers, journalists, activists, content creators, and special guests, the show tackles politics with humor, insight, and a healthy dose of chaos.

From sharp political satire and audience-driven games to spirited debates, surprise segments, and behind-the-scenes stories, the show blends the energy of a late-night comedy show with the unpredictability of a panel discussion. Whether they’re dissecting current events, roasting bad takes, or competing in absurd challenges, the cast delivers smart laughs and lively conversation for an audience that wants to stay informed without sacrificing entertainment.

Part comedy showcase, part cultural roundtable, and part organized mayhem, this is the show where progressive creators come together to laugh, argue, and make sense of a very strange world.

Panel 1: Sorry, Your Rights Are Out of Network

Healthcare’s trust problem isn’t that people are falling for a TikTok, it’s that a broken system guaranteed they’d end up there looking for answers. This panel brings together a doctor, a nurse practitioner, a political content creator/activist, and a women’s rights advocate to trace the real line between Medicaid cuts, abortion bans, and a legislature that moves fast and hopes you’re too busy doom-scrolling to notice. Equal parts clinical, political, and unhinged, this is healthcare policy with a pulse.

DrJeanlus: Board-certified OB/GYN and Complex Family Planning subspecialist Dr. Ashley Jeanlus has spent her career on the front lines of abortion care and reproductive health misinformation. By day she’s delivering babies and debunking uterus myths; by night she’s serving verdicts on TikTok as The Repro Doc, gavel included. She’s the only panelist tonight who can legally tell you to put your legs in the stirrups.

@AmandaInformed: Amanda is a Florida-based political content creator, activist, and Radiologic Technologist who tracks a legislature that prefers to move fast and in the dark, which has effectively made her a full-time war correspondent, except the war is Tallahassee versus reading comprehension. Host of The Political Pour and founder of the Chaos Caucus, she’s built a community of people who refuse to look away, even when Florida really, really wants them to.

@AmericansForDemocracy: Terra Kater is a nurse practitioner, mom of 4, and 25-year healthcare veteran who has personally witnessed more end-of-life paperwork than most funeral homes. She works in skilled nursing, long-term care, and assisted living, where she’s watched firsthand what happens when the safety net gets thinner, and what “personal responsibility” actually gets you when Medicaid runs out. She’s got jokes about it, because the alternative is screaming.

@ItsMaggieBurnett: Maggie Burnett brings the women’s rights, feminism, and motherhood lens to the panel, fresh off having a newborn and functioning on what can generously be called postpartum survival mode. She’s proof that you can be sleep-deprived, hormonal, and still sharper on policy than most people’s elected officials. Consider her the panelist reminding everyone that “family values” politicians rarely mean the families actually raising kids.

Panel 2: Capitalism is a Joke

We’re living through late-stage capitalism, and honestly? It’s absurd. This panel uses comedy to deconstruct the scams we’ve normalized, the distractions we’ve fallen for, and the collective power we’ve forgotten we have. Come laugh, Come learn, Come resist with us!”

Lawrence (@LarryTheSociologist):

Lawrence Carter is an educator who uses his Ethnic Studies background to dissect life’s hidden rules—then promptly breaks them for laughs. When he’s not on stage, he mentors youth, champions civic engagement, and fights fascism locally by both spiting capitalism and encouraging community.

Kate H (@gamelawkate):

Kate is an attorney who owns her own law practice focused on video games and professional gaming (esports), and has previously owned and operated a mental health clinic. Online, she is known for “malicious charity” and flagrantly bribing her followers with promises of quips or selfies in exchange for their participation in mutual aid drives.

The Mother Clucker (@mycluckhut):

Trevor Silva is CEO and co-founder of My Cluck Hut, an eco-friendly, sustainable, anti-fascist soap company out of Nashville, TN — born in the chaos of 2020 as a giant middle finger to unfettered capitalism, as well as MAGA’s worst Cluckin’ nightmare.

Cortlen Combs (@CortlenFixesEverything):

Cortlen is an Oklahoma based political content creator, educator, human rights activist. From speaking at anti- ICE protests at his capital, to raising awareness about human rights violations both domestically and abroad. The fight is simple. A better world for all, means equality for all. No exceptions. Power to the people.
