Epix to Premiere UNPROTECTED SETS on October 5th

From executive producers Wanda Sykes and Page Hurwitz (Push It Productions) & Barry Poznick, President of MGM's Unscripted Television and MGM Television, UNPROTECTED SETS will take a raw, unfiltered look at stand up through the eyes of the funniest up and coming comedians from across the country.

Shooting in Portland, San Diego, D.C., Minneapolis and Atlanta, each episode presents a compelling portrait of a comedian on the verge of breaking out to become the next big name in comedy. The diverse lineup of breakout talent offers insights into the motivations behind baring one's soul for a living. Their dynamic, personal, and hilarious performances - where nothing is off limits - will show us exactly how, in their own inimitable way, each comedian turns life into art.

New episodes of Unprotected Sets will air every Friday at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on EPIX.
