Roundtable Sessions

Roundtable discussions are informal, one-hour sessions where a key industry stakeholder leads a small group of approximately 10 passholders, creating a space for honest dialogue and tailored advice. Hosted by some of the comedy industry’s leading professionals, these curated discussions are designed to help comedy professionals & creators sharpen their skills, expand their networks, and gain invaluable insight into the ever-evolving entertainment landscape.
Join Dropout's COO/Executive Producer David Kerns as he shares how to develop and manage high-impact unscripted formats — from casting sharp comedic voices to building structures that allow improvisation to shine. Learn how to create content that feels spontaneous but lands with precision, and what it takes to produce comedy that feels both fresh and fearless.
Hosted by David Kerns (COO/Executive Producer, Dropout)
