Premise[edit]
Unprotected Sets films in Portland, San Diego, Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, and Atlanta with each episode presenting "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."[1]
