About This Event

If the little angel and devil from your shoulders ever did a stand up comedy show, this is what it would sound like.


Equal parts heart-wrenching and hilarious, the popular Mormon and the Meth-Head podcast was an inside look at a very unlikely friendship. A fascinating and hilarious journey of self-discovery and self-repair, Aaron and Jessa shared their experiences as they learned how to fix their hearts and heads after escaping the snares of drug addiction and uh, organized religion. Join us for an evening of stand-up, stories, and an audience Q&A.


Jessa Reed is a teen mom-turned-meth-addict-turned-comedian-turned podcaster who has been seen at clubs and festivals around the country. She made her stunning television debut on Comedy Central's "This Is Not Happening." Jessa Reed tells raw and candid stories about her past and her new life as a homeschooling housewife trying to blend in with the normal people. Her honesty is shocking, inspirational, and not for the faint of heart. She's been seen on Epix's "Unprotected Sets" and she continues to create captivating and iconoclastic podcasts like Soberish and Awakening OD, with her newest project, The Projector and the Flail, premiering last year.


Aaron Woodall was once a sweet and innocent Mormon boy, and now has an act that’s still very sweet, just not as innocent. Named one of Conan O’Brien’s Comics To Watch at the 2018 New York City Comedy Festival, Aaron has a knack for finding the silver linings while ranting about the clouds, and a charming way of saying the things you didn’t even know you wanted to hear. His “hilarious and heart-warming” 2024 special, Cry For Me Daddy, is streaming now on YouTube. He previously filmed two specials, Unknown and Sad and Needy, with Dry Bar Comedy, and in the quarantine of 2020 he released his self-produced and aptly-named album, WOODALLALONE.


Tickets for this very special engagement are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Doors open an hour before showtime. Tickets not claimed 15 minutes before showtime may be released for re-sale with no refunds.
