Every night, people leave their homes to have a drink, grab a seat in some dimly lit room, and watch someone use only words and gestures to make them forget their problems for a while and laugh. Every month, The Comedians takes a look at this phenomenon by focusing on those who practice their humorous craft alone on the stage.

In our June issue, we feature interviews with John C. Hinton, Sia Amma, EJay Buoncore, and the improv group, Rare Bird Show. We also have humor from David Baker, Myq Kaplan, and Sarah Blodgett.

Our correspondents for this issue are Tabitha Vidaurri in Philadelphia, Kay Dover in San Francisco, and Michelle Peterson from Chicago with a story about Alaska. Ken Carlson is the editor, covering New York and Connecticut.
