And now, the har-de-har’s you came for:

1. Michael Kosta tells his audience about drunkenly taking out his contacts, describes being the youngest sibling and explains why his family calls him “Pickle”:

3. Chris Redd takes to the stage to talk about winter in LA, how the first year of being with someone is the cutest, and how his cousin came out of the closet:

4. A blast from the past! In Mitch Hedberg’s classic Comedy Central Presents (recorded in 1999), he discusses escalators, fire exits, frogs and so much more:

That’s all she wrote! See you next time.
