A sweet treat

With an increasing number of stand-up specials made especially for its roster (over 200 can be found on-site already), it makes sense that streaming heavyweight Netflix is taking its golden comedy formula to the stage. Finally taking place from April 28 to May 8, the first-ever Netflix Is A Joke Fest is set to leave LA in stitches, featuring the biggest and brightest established comics, as well as up-and-coming performers that are just itching to be discovered by new fans. Nicole Byer, comic, podcaster, surprising reality TV star and dessert connoisseur joins the festivities on May 7 when she appears at the Palace Theatre.

Perhaps best known as the plucky, rambunctious, catch-phrase-toting host of rib tickling bake-off series Nailed It! (where contestants do their best but invariably fail to recreate complex confectionary creations). Yet beyond the bright lights of the TV studios, her infectious, upbeat personality and wacky take on self-love and empowerment makes for rib-tickling, deliciously sweet stand-up comedy fare.
