Don’t you just love a laugh? Well, get into this new stand-up hour from “a rare gem of a comic” (Rolling Stone), Sam Lake – presented by Chuckle Busters


Feeling like life and his career has become repetitive, Sam is asking himself “are we really doing this again?”.

Has he lost sight of his goals after years of entertaining countless idiotic men in comedy clubs? Has he turned into yet another version of himself to please everyone? Sam addresses the stereotypes of effeminate gay men that both hinder and help him  in his efforts to be a funny little scamp.

If you’ve ever had a lifelong passion, a dream or a goal you’ve strived for and maybe failed (or are currently failing) at, this is the show for you.

“The glorious Sam Lake makes such a bulletproof argument while still bringing so much top tier comedy.
