Hey there! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. Last time I posted here, I was talking about my show at the Hollywood Improv, “Anyi Malik and Folks”that happened December 10th, 2023. The event was a smash! Not only did I pack the house out, but everyone gave a stellar performance and we were even joined by comedy legends Craig Robinson and Dave Chapelle!!

Since I had decided to run with the Hollywood Comedy footage for the next release (The Wing Set EP), I took a little creative license at the Roast Battle Pre-Show and worked out some material I’d like to release soon in other projects.

I had an idea. I wanted to do another release project, but didn’t have the initial capital or footage. I thought, “what if, instead of asking for donations, I could sell tickets to my entire creative process?” From the performances themselves (whether someone could physically be there or not) to early drafts of the associated media (artwork, raw video/audio files, etc). This is how my first COMEDY PASS came to be.
I was on the set of a music video I was starting in (“Don’t Worry About It” by Demar Randy ft. Shanice Antonia and yours truly) when the idea came to me. I already have this idea for my 7th comedy project (like the 6th project, comprised of many releases) and shared the Creative Passport concept with Darrien Sills-Evans, director and producer of the video. “Let me know if you want to shoot something,” he said before going back to setting up a shot for the music video. “Hell yeah,” I replied!
I set up space on my website announcing the project and how folks can gain early access via a secret, unlisted page on my site with exclusive content and streamed shows. By purchasing tickets on Eventbrite, an individual would receive the secret link in the confirmation email. Additionally there were other ways to obtain the link.
The Winter Comedy Show Pass has ended, as did the season. Although I’m now focused on the current Comedy Pass (Gateway Plug Comedy Show Pass), it was this event that inspired me to take a lot more things into my own hands than I had realized. In this short blog series, I will chronicle the journey of this event, which was supposed to churn out a release project, but ended up resulting in TWO projects! Each entry will feature exclusive footage made only available to those with the links to them and YOU, reading this blog. Enjoy! Next Up: OXNARD 30
