Sexpot Comedy is a comedy collective, producing or sponsoring nine podcasts and more than a dozen weekly or monthly live events in Denver, Colorado. It is run by partners Kayvan Soorena Tyler Khalatbari-Limaki (Kayvan Khalatbari), a local entrepreneur, and Andy Juett, a local comedian and producer.
In July 2012, Khalatbari combined two of his existing businesses—Sexy Pizza, a Denver-based pizza chain, and Denver Relief, one of Colorado’s oldest marijuana dispensaries—to create a comedy showcase called Sexpot Comedy. Staged in one of Sexy Pizza’s three locations, these invite-only stand-up shows allowed Denver Relief’s medical marijuana patients to smoke while watching sets from some of Denver’s best comics.
Shortly after the launch, Juett joined on as a producing partner of Sexpot. Along with the namesake showcase, the Sexpot brand started sponsoring four Denver podcasts (all hosted or co-hosted by area comedians), and several local comedy festivals, open mics, and special events. The brand has since expanded and launched their website in October 2014. It features their network of podcasts and a show calendar.
As of October 2014, Sexpot Comedy sponsors six featured podcasts and three up-and-coming podcasts in their farm league:
The showcase evolved from the first shows held as invite-only parties inside a Sexy Pizza, and moved to the historic Oriental Theater in December, 2013. The larger iteration of the show has seen national headliners including Rory Scovel, Sean Patton, Nikki Glaser, Andy Kindler, and LA comedy group WOMEN, join local talent on the stage. Comedy Works New Faces winner Jordan Doll hosts and Juett produces the events.
Hosted by Jordan Doll and Andy Juett, every monthly showcase also features pre-show hijinks during SEXPOT VISION with Jim Hickox.
