Chris Redd's Kickback: Watch It Live from the Comedy Cellar on October 28

Chris Redd's Kickback is a live comedy show hosted by SNL alum and Emmy winner Chris Redd, streaming live from the Comedy Cellar in New York City on Mint Comedy. Catch it live Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 8pm ET (5pm PT), with Roy Wood Jr., Rachel Feinstein, Andre D. Thompson, Greer Barnes and Elle Orlando. Watch it live at watch.mintcomedy.com for $2.99, or $2 with promo code MINTKICKBACK. It's included with a Mint membership.

Here's the pitch: Chris Redd throws a party. Musical improv meets stand-up, and pre-recorded sketches drop in mid-show. Everything else is made up on the spot, so every Kickback only exists once. There's no rerun of the bit that killed. You were there or you weren't.

What is Chris Redd's Kickback?

Kickback is a live comedy show that mixes three things you don't usually get on one stage:

• Stand-up from Redd and a lineup of the comics he wants in the room.
• Musical improv: songs built on the spot, from nothing, in front of a live crowd.
• Sketches: pre-recorded bits that drop in the middle of the show.

It streams live from the Comedy Cellar, the most famous basement in comedy, so you can watch from anywhere.

The October 28 lineup

Chris Redd (your host)

Chris Redd spent five seasons on Saturday Night Live (2017–2022) and won a 2018 Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the SNL song "Come Back Barack." His stand-up hour Why Am I Like This? streams on HBO Max. He co-created and starred in Peacock's Bust Down, hosts Netflix's car makeover series Resurrected Rides, and has shown up in Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Candy Cane Lane and NBC's Kenan. Next up, he's in the cast of Netflix's Celebrity Million Dollar Secret, coming in 2027. He's on the road with his Workin' On Me Tour, but on October 28, the party is at the Cellar.

Roy Wood Jr.

He's performed on Late Night with David Letterman, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Def Comedy Jam and Chappelle's Show, had his own Comedy Central Presents half-hour, and has opened for Dave Chappelle on international tours.
