n this episode comedian Maija DiGiorgio and co-hosts Felicia Chappelle, Heather McConnell, Mike George, and Pamela Greene, sit with special guest Alycia Cooper. Produced by Masavia Greer. Presented at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, CA.
Comedian, actress, singer, dancer, and DGA Emmy nominated Director — Alycia Cooper was born with a mic in her hand. It was a medical miracle, and a sign that her mother either had an iron deficiency or desperately wanted Alycia to be a performer. The latter was true and it didn’t take long for Alycia's funny bone to take shape, after all , it was "connected to the knee bone," but she digresses. And like every great comedian, by the age of 5, she had perfected knock- knock jokes and imitating drunk family members. This love of laughter was Alycia’s beacon to the stage and after graduating college, she pursued the destiny that had patiently waited for her.

Tony Woods is the dean of Washington comedy and one of the finest, most underrated incubators of stand-up talent in the country. He has never starred in a movie or headlined his own sitcom or talk show and hasn't even released an hour-long special. But few comics today are more naturally funny or have been as influential. He toys with language, favoring malaprops and mispronounced words (he has a ball with “ferret”). He also spins yarns about sex or Mister Rogers (even mixing the two a bit), and specializes in benign lies, introducing white comics as N.A.A.C.P. award winners and describing himself as a 92-year-old sharecropper born during the Depression.
