Sometimes you just can’t choose between seeing live music and live comedy, and there’s a long line of performers that can fill that niche—though “niche” is often exactly how to describe those acts.

Sometimes you just can’t choose between seeing live music and live comedy, and there’s a long line of performers that can fill that niche—though “niche” is often exactly how to describe those acts. Morgan Jay is different, striving to be a musical comedian for people who usually don’t like musical comedy. Armed with an acoustic guitar and a repertoire of improv-heavy songs that incorporate a herculean amount of crowdwork, Jay is used to charming and disarming audiences with ease. He’s got a YouTube special, but Jay’s also built a big audience on TikTok.

Chey Bell’s jokes land with deadly precision. “If you see any Black people in Napa, they are in the witness protection program,” she cracks in a bit titled “All White Town.” With an energetic stage presence honed from sets at The Comedy Store and NY Comedy Club, the bisexual comedienne riffs on everything from taking a girlfriend home for the holidays, to raising mixed kids, to guided meditations on YouTube devolving into Rihanna quotes. Featuring Chelsea Bearce in support and a host of other quick-witted comics in tow (plus one actual host), maybe it’s “Only Laughs,” but it still sounds fun.
