YTunes Shuffle

Lara Beitz is a brilliant comedian up and coming in the Los Angeles scene, originally from Milwaukee. She is known for her work with David Spade on his show "Lights Out With David Spade." Lara also just got her name on the Comedy Store wall and took some time out of quarantine to share her music and her stories.

Through her music we learn all about her struggles with social media, her first job/career before she realized that comedy CAN be a career, growing up in the midwest and pretending to be famous in her bathroom and how she chose LA over New York. Sprinkle in some details about her road trip to LA and a few about her sister, too.

Through his music, he told stories of how the band and band name came to be, his time in (and getting kicked out of) college, how he and David met, what it was like growing up with a father in the Navy, the troubles of living in England as an American adolescent, and the secrets and grit needed to not only survive, but kick cancer's butt.

Jennifer Vally is a writer and producer at The Game Show Network, who also worked as a writer for The Disney Chanel and is also a comedian originally from San Diego, now living in Los Angeles.

Through her Fave5 songs, we learn all about her trouble making days in high school with her best friend including one VERY close call. She describes getting started in stand up comedy (and giving birth...almost at the same time) and what gave her the confidence that she could "make it" in this business. Plus, her music takes us through her young adolescence and the feelings of finally being free. And a surprise American track that reminds her of an excellent trip to England.

Jennifer is super, high energy and even gets Maggi and David talking about their high school experiences including first apartment stories.
