Los Angeles comedian, Josh Adam Meyers launched a live show called The Goddamn Comedy Jam at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood in 2014.[1] The show features a guest comedian who performs fifteen minutes of comedy, tells a personal story and finishes the show by singing a cover song, usually a pop or rock song, that relates to the story.[2]
