The Sunday Special - Bobby Lee, Beth Stelling, Jesus Sepulveda, John Hastings, Ramsey Badawi, JF Harris, Jay Larson +more!

Ramsey Badawi is a Los Angeles–based stand-up comedian. He’s a regular at Los Angeles comedy clubs and a nationally touring comedian. His set on the Don’t Tell Comedy YouTube series has acquired millions of views—if you count clips, which Ramsey thinks you should definitely count.nThe son of working-class war refugees, Ramsey grew up between East Jerusalem and Orange County, California. Before comedy, he toured the country playing in hardcore and emo bands, then made an unlikely pivot to working as a policy aide in the California State Legislature. The result is an unusually specific mix of perspective, high intellect, and scumbaggery in his work.nHe’s also written for projects on Netflix and Comedy Central and acted in some stuff, but honestly—who cares. Just go see him live.

Starting stand-up in Chicago, Stelling became a member of Chicago Underground Comedy and hosted a Sunday night variety show in Boystown with her best friends, The Puterbaugh Sisters, for many years called Entertaining Julia (Julia was the bartender) at Town Hall Pub.nnBeth was named “Best Stand-up Comedian in Chicago” by The Chicago Reader in 2010.

Within her first year in L.A., Beth made her late night TV debut on CONAN and released her debut album “Sweet Beth” on Rooftop Records. She also appeared on comedy programs such as Comedy Central’s @midnight, Chelsea Lately and The Pete Holmes Show.nnBeth was asked to perform stand-up on Jimmy Kimmel Live after Jimmy saw her perform at Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. That year Beth filmed her first half hour special “Boner Appétit to You” with Comedy Central in Boston, and Vulture named it one of the “Best Stand-up Specials of 2015”. In conjunction with her Comedy Central special, Stelling released her second comedy album “Simply the Beth”. The Interrobang and Splitsider named it one of the top ten albums of 2015. Her second half hour stand-up special was filmed in L.A. and is now streaming on Netflix as part of The Standups series (season 1, episode 5). Beth’s first hour stand-up special “Girl Daddy” produced by Conan O’Brien and Team Coco is available now on HBO Max. The New York Times called it “The Best Debut Special of the year,” adding, “It’s a virtuosic performance, conversational while dense with jokes.”nnAs a writer, Beth has written on I Love You America with Sarah Silverman, The Last O.G. on TBS, HBO’s Crashing, Another Period on Comedy Central, Apple’s upcoming animated series Strange Planet and season 8 of Rick and Morty for Adult Swim. Beth is a go-to hire for punch-up on features, after getting her start as an on-set writer and Associate Producer for the hit summer film Good Boys written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.nnOn the acting front, Beth had a recurring role on Peacock’s comedy Rutherford Falls opposite Ed Helms and Jana Schmieding.
