Ali Hassan’s career plans started off as simply as anyone’s: become a chef, get a food show on television, get a second food show on television, be the face of the network and have oven mitts with his face on them. But sometimes things get in the way of your dreams: like your parents’ disappointment, your family of four children and your successful comedy career.

This show is a hilarious exposition of Ali’s journey in and out of the culinary world in which he spent 12 years. Think Eat, Pray, Love….minus the Prayer.

CHESTNUTS

Chestnuts is the improv duo of Vinny Francois and Katie Pagnucco. They’ve been performing together for nearly a decade and they both love ice cream. Telling stories and discovering the ridiculous along the way is what they live for. That, and ice cream. Together, they created the science-comedy podcast Learn Real Good and teach scientists & executives the value of improv through their company, Improv For Professionals. However, they are mostly an ice cream-centric improv troupe that performs to stay ahead of their ice cream-related debts.
