Laugh Basement, our weekly stand-up comedy showcase hosted by Hewitt Pagenstecher and DJ Bholt, returns with headliner, Sean Jordan! Sean is a touring stand up comedian and podcaster who has appeared on Comedy Central, The Late Late Show with James Corden and who Paste Magazine calls “both genuine and genuinely hilarious.” He co-hosts the wildly popular podcast All Fantasy Everything, the show where funny people and experts come together to fantasy draft pop culture, from music to movies to sandwiches. His latest stand up comedy album Girl Dad, available from A Special Thing Records, is a raw, honest and hilarious special documenting the birth of his daughter, the IVF that preceded it, the vasectomy that followed, and all points between. His newest podcast It’s Nice to Be Nice explores how someone “being nice” made a difference in the lives of his guests. You may also have heard Sean on podcasts like The Honeydew, Doug Loves Movies, Professor Blastoff, The Crabfeast, View from the Cheap Seats, Put Your Hands Together and Alison Rosen is Your Best Friend. His young daughter recently lauded Sean’s ability to “be tall” and “carry me upside down so I can walk on the ceiling.” Monday’s lineup also includes comedians Don Gavitte, Tyson Gusman, Jasmine Rogers,  Sabrena Contreras, and Lewis Sequeira! $10
