Cottage Comedy Teams w/ Jarrett Campbell & Dave Merheje for New Digital Series #PYMK

Cottage Comedy Digital is excited to announce we have teamed with Canadian Comedy heavyweights Dave Merheje and Jarrett Campbell to launch the new web series People You May Know (#PYMK) with the first episode of the digital series launching next Tuesday November 10 on cottagecomedy.com and other digital platforms on social media. “The project was born from a segment Jarrett created on a podcast we co-hosted together a few years ago and was then further developed with Ryan Bannon. Ryan is the founding partner and director of Playground who has helped this project take shape with his crisp production, directing, and design work behind the camera,” says Tyler Morrison, Creative Director of Cottage Comedy Digital.

People You May know showcases the comedians’ rapid fire, off-the-cuff humor and hilarious banter as they dive into the online world of oversharing on social media. Taking real statuses from real people (protected by anonymity), the two comics roast each post and attempt to figure out the psyche behind what drives some of these every day people to publicly share their worst and most misguided inner thoughts.

“Having two comedians that have the rapport Dave and Jarrett have together is always the starting point for a winning formula on a show like this. Creating content through the pandemic has had it’s learning curve but our team has been unified by the importance of putting out quality content,” Morrison said.
