About this show

Every comedian has a Notes app full of ideas that felt like genius at the time. Half-finished bits. Voice memos that make no sense. A single word with three question marks that definitely meant something once. Each night, four rotating comedians open their phones and perform them live. The timestamp. The voice memo. The 3am premise that hasn't been tested in front of strangers. Until now. Part stand-up show, part creative autopsy. Hosted by Stephen Gordon. A different line-up every night. Material you won't hear anywhere else.
