In this episode, comics Wendi Starling, Andy Sanford, Kelsey Caine, Khalid Rahmaan, and Jake Head were the most adventurous to date, really putting the band to work. And at the end host Yedoye Travis wouldn’t let them STOP working, so stick around for the extended jam as only Yedoye can do. The Original Lineup that night featured Andrew Gialanella Joseph D’Alessio Andrew Mackasek.

Featuring Kenny DeForest, Shalewa Sharpe, Will Miles, and hosted by Yedoye Travis THE ORIGINAL LINEUP: Alex Pyle, Joey Ziegler, Alex Lotito, Andrew Gialanella

THE FIRST LIVE SHOW! Back to the beginning and the very first Rent Party with The Original Lineup! Kenny yells at the band, Shalewa is her amazing hilarious self, and Will leads an inspiring audience sing-along. Yedoye was a party fire (the opposite of a dumpster fire) — hosting solo, singing, and dancing (listen hard). A simpler time that wasn’t at all simple.
