Laughing Forward: New Comedy Pilot “Laugh Out Loud” Seeks to Redefine Sketch Entertainment for the Streaming Age

Las Vegas-filmed variety series, backed by industry veterans and hosted by Geno Bisconte, spotlights rising talent and the evolving voice of modern humor.

Las Vegas, NV – August 6, 2025 — Amid the shimmering lights and raw energy of Las Vegas, a new kind of comedy is preparing to make its digital debut. “Laugh Out Loud,” a boundary-pushing sketch comedy pilot produced by VIP Ignite Live, has wrapped filming and is slated to premiere next year on Limitless TV, a streaming platform known for experimental and emerging content.

Created by executive producers Michael Fomkin, Alycia Kaback, and Deneen White—figures celebrated for cultivating raw talent through VIP Ignite Live and Truth Mgmt—the show offers a deliberate departure from conventional late-night humor. It positions itself as a cultural response to the changing landscape of comedy: unscripted, inclusive, and undeniably now.

“We envisioned a show that would encapsulate the essence of modern humor while providing a platform for emerging comedic talent,” said Fomkin. His producing partner Kaback added, “Filming the pilot in Las Vegas was intentional—the city’s vibrant energy perfectly matched our vision of creating a groundbreaking comedy series.”

At the helm of the show is host Geno Bisconte, whose reputation for unfiltered wit and streetwise satire has made him a regular on “The Howard Stern Show” and a touring companion of Artie Lange. For Bisconte, the project marks a deliberate tilt toward authenticity. “This isn’t your parent’s sketch comedy,” he quipped. “It’s raw, real, and unapologetically hilarious. Comedy is evolving, and our show captures the current zeitgeist.”

But what truly sets “Laugh Out Loud” apart is its commitment to fresh voices. The pilot features a diverse ensemble of performers, many of whom are appearing on national television for the first time. The cast includes Steve Adame, Kingson Aristil, Lalini Ashmeade, Mirella Cazares, Trevaughn Morris, and over two dozen others representing a cross-section of backgrounds, comedic styles, and identities.

VIP Ignite Live’s approach reflects a broader trend in entertainment: decentralizing talent discovery and dismantling gatekeeping in the creative arts. By bringing sketch comedy to a digital-first audience with a socially aware lens, the show aims to resonate with younger viewers for whom representation and relevance are non-negotiable.

“Laugh Out Loud” is more than just laughs—it’s a platform for social commentary, cultural experimentation, and the pursuit of new comedic norms. Whether it succeeds in rewriting the sketch playbook remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: it’s no longer business as usual in comedy.
