This week we are joined by the hilarious Jenny Gorelick, writer and star of "Billy and the Situation," a new play about Billy McFarland (of Fyre Festival failure) and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (The Jersey Shore) becoming friends in prison. You can catch the play next in LA at Dynasty Typewriter on March 1st @ 7:30pm!

With a cast of improv comedy veterans in New York City, North Coast’s explosive performances have been packing comedy venues, universities, and festivals nationwide since 2009. Built around a single suggestion from an audience member, the show’s improvised scenes escalate into full-blown hip-hop songs, facilitated by resident beatboxer, Doctor Brick. With their seamless melding of comedic timing and freestyle rapping abilities, North Coast frequently blurs the line between comedy show and concert, drawing audiences from the comedy, hip-hop, and theater communities for an experience that has been hailed as “mind-blowing” and “next level” by critics and audiences alike.
Named one of the “Top Ten Best Comedy Shows” by Time Out New York, North Coast has been featured on Vh1, in Slate’s Podcast The Gist, The Village Voice, and The New York Times Comedy Listings. Currently, you can catch them performing on 3/11 at 7:30pm at The Peoples Improv Theater.
