Set List

Approvedsetlist

From Paul Provenza and Troy Conrad, Set List: Stand-Up Without A Net is currently a TV series on Sky Atlantic in the UK starring Robin Williams, Maria Bamford, Gilbert Gottfried, Greg Proops, Fred Willard, Drew Carey, Reggie Watts, and more. Comics are given outrageous, never-before-seen topics onstage, and perform seamlessly as if its the act they normally do while the audience follows the absurd, original topics on a projection screen.

This international sensation returns to SXSW from sold-out shows at festivals in Edinburgh, Melbourne, Montreal, Toronto, Austria, and beyond. With a recent run in Cairo, the show is also in production as the world's first improvised stand-up show in the Middle East. Set List runs monthly at UCB and Nerdmelt in Los Angeles, and runs weekly at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. The show is also currently a 60-episode web series on the Nerdist Channel with a new episode every Friday.
