Comedy 101 is what happens when an open mic meets a roast. It's the cringiest show in New York clubs today, as we bring five innocent, hopeful open mic'ers take to the stage, many of them for the very first time in front of a real audience to face a panel of headlining comics to see if they have what it takes to enter the business. Our rookies have to try to make the crowd and our panel of "mentors" laugh, and fast, because our mentors are ready to ring in with their bells and absolutely eviscerate the open mic'ers, and each other. Ron and Gail Bennington host with a revolving panel of mentors each episode.
