AN SNL CAST MEMBER, A NETFLIX TOP 10 SPECIAL, AND A HOST WHO DANCED WITH CHARO
Mint Comedy streams live, uncensored stand-up from the Comedy Cellar in New York City every Thursday night. This week’s show is Thursday, October 8 at 9:30pm ET, hosted by Rich Aronovitch, featuring Lynne Koplitz, Dan Davies, Caitlin Peluffo, Kam Patterson, and Derrick Stroup. Watch at mintcomedy.com/live-stream for $2.99, $2 with promo code LAUGHS, or free with a $4.99/month or annual membership.
Here’s the short version: a current Saturday Night Live cast member, Joan Rivers’ longtime protégée, a Netflix Top 10 special, a Funny AF finalist, a New York Comedy Festival pick, and a host who has danced with Charo on network television. All in the most famous comedy basement on the planet, with no edits, no bleeps, and no “we’ll fix it in post.”
Here’s who’s on.
The lineup: October 8
Rich Aronovitch · Your Host
New Orleans-raised and a regular at both the Comedy Cellar and Gotham Comedy Club, Rich has competed on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, guest-judged Food Network’s Beat Bobby Flay, and performed on AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live. He is also, against all odds, a dancer: he danced with Charo on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, performed with Limp Bizkit at Madison Square Garden, and got his moves onto the New York Islanders’ jumbotron. Thursday he keeps the show moving, possibly literally.
Lynne Koplitz
Long Island’s own and Joan Rivers’ protégée for more than a decade, Lynne released her Netflix hour Hormonal Beast in 2017 and dedicated it to her mentor. She hosted the dating show Change of Heart, co-hosted Food Network’s How to Boil Water, and was there for the first episodes of StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, which makes her the only comic on this lineup qualified to explain both your relationship and black holes. You’ve also seen her in Top Five and The King of Staten Island.
Dan Davies
Dan grew up between small-town Pennsylvania and Brazil, which is the kind of childhood that hands a comic material for life. Named a “Comic to Watch” by the New York Comedy Festival, he’s been performing internationally since 2012, has appeared on CBS, and is a familiar face at the Comedy Cellar and New York Comedy Club. He also headlines Don’t Tell Comedy shows across the U.S. and Canada. The festival told you to watch him. This is your chance.
Caitlin Peluffo
San Francisco-born, New York-based, and a top-four finalist on Kevin Hart’s Netflix competition Funny AF. Caitlin got a standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, made her network debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and was a Just for Laughs New Face. Her first full hour, Prosciutto Rose, premiered in June 2026, and she hosts Good Time Gal, a podcast about drunken mistakes that turned into great stories. She knows a good bad decision when she hears one.
Kam Patterson
Orlando’s Kam Patterson started hitting open mics in 2021, back when he was still working at Foot Locker. Five years later he’s a cast member on Saturday Night Live. He broke out on Kill Tony, where his “I Like Rocks” set went viral, played Kill Tony’s Madison Square Garden show, and co-stars with Kevin Hart in Netflix’s 72 Hours. Thursday he’s in the Cellar, where there’s no standards department.
Derrick Stroup
Raised in rural Alabama and now based in Denver, Derrick talks, in his own words, “with the cadence of an angry auctioneer.” His Netflix special Nostalgic, about growing up a ’90s kid in the rural South, hit the U.S. Netflix Top 10 in March 2026. He’s done The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, was a Just for Laughs New Face, and has toured with Nate Bargatze, Bert Kreischer, and Larry the Cable Guy.
