He is best known for his Netflix comedy specials, Ball Hog (2020), Disgraceful (2018), Mostly Stories (2016), and Completely Normal (2014). Paste Magazine described him as, “…having a natural and capable storytelling ability, one that lifts his narratives out of average anecdote fare and plants them firmly in hilarious ground.” Additionally, his hit Podcasts Your Mom’s House which he co- hosts with his wife, comedian Christina Pazsitzky, and 2 Bears 1 Cave which he co-hosts with Bert Kreischer have rapidly grown to two of the biggest comedy podcasts today.
Segura can be seen in the STX FILM COUNTDOWN opposite Elizabeth Lail.

Segura’s television credits include The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, Workaholics, Happy Endings, The Late Late Show, Comedy Central Presents: Tom Segura, Mash Up, and How To Be A Grown Up.
Segura has an increasing social media following (@seguratom on IG) and also regularly appears on radio shows like the Bennington Show and some of the most downloaded podcasts in the world of comedy such as The Joe Rogan Experience and WTF With Marc Maron among others. His fourth hour-long stand up album Mostly Stories sat atop the iTunes and Billboard Comedy charts for consecutive weeks and his first two albums Thrilled and White Girls with Cornrows debuted at number 1 and continue to play heavily on satellite radio and streaming music platforms. When he isn’t performing on stage or recording a podcast he’s watching College Football or waiting for College Football to come back.

Iliza Shlesinger
While she’s known for being one of today’s leading comedians with 5 Netflix specials, Iliza Shlesinger has recently branched out into acting having recently starred opposite Mark Wahlberg in the #1 Netflix film Spenser Confidential, and will next be seen in the drama Pieces of a Woman starring Shia Labeouf and Vanessa Kirby.

Iliza’s last Netflix special, 2018’s Elder Millennial, is the subject of Iliza Shlesinger: Over & Over, her “fan-u- mentary” which is currently streaming and gives fans an inside look into what goes into the making of one of her specials.
In 2017, she released her first book Girl Logic: The Genius and the Absurdity (Hachette Book Group) a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman’s approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. On her new podcast Ask Iliza Anything she offers up her unique perspective to listeners, answering their questions on virtually any topic.
