New season of Comedy Central's Live at Gotham tapes in early August. (It's one of the few places for up and coming comics to get a TV credit.) Word on the street about who made the cut:
NYC: Sean Patton, Brent Sullivan, Dan Soder, Joe Mande, Taylor Williamson, Kumail Nanjiani
Chicago: Kyle Kinane
Austin: Daniel Jackson, Eric Krug, Andy Ritchie, and Chuck Watkins (via "Austin Invades Gotham!")
Philadelphia: Kent Haines (via "Kent Haines tapped for new season of 'Live at Gotham'")
Boston: Sean Sullivan (via Josh)
Congrats to all. Gotta be more too. If ya know of anyone else, add a comment.
P.S. Patton, Sullivan, Nanjiani, and Haines have all appeared on our We're All Friends Here show. Ya can find them on the podcast here.

I watched episode 143, the one that Rob Riggle hosted and there was a comedian that was so funny but I cant remember his name and I cant find him. I am begining to think they removed him? He acted like he was tweeked out and made jokes about how sometimes its not always smart to give people the benefit of the doubt. I don't know but any help figuring out who he is and where he went would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
