In Person: Andrea Meyerson and comedian Eddie Sarfaty

The third installment of Andrea Meyerson's series on queer comics. Shot in her winning formula that interweaves stand-up material with candid interviews, viewers are given the opportunity to at once laugh and simultaneously understand the voyage that has led these performers to the stage. Meet sexy Kansan Andre Kelley, who boasts being the only black comic never to have appeared on B.E.T.; Scott Kennedy, whose three years in military school and youth in rural Texas makes for hilarious anecdotes; Alec Mapa who went from growing up in a conservative Filipino Catholic family to being the first openly gay Asian regular on a television series; Bob Smith, who was the first-ever out gay comic to appear on The Tonight Show and have his own HBO comedy special; Eddie Sarfaty who has appeared on The Today Show, Nightline and on Comedy Central's Premium Blend and is a regular at Carolines and Gotham Comedy Club in New York; and Bruce Vilanch, who all of Hollywood calls when they need fresh and funny material.
