Sexpot Comedy

Juett is a producing partner in Sexpot Comedy. Originally conceived as a private comedy showcase by Denver entrepreneur Kayvan S.T. Khalatbari, Sexpot now serves as a type of comedy collective producing or sponsoring four podcasts and a dozen weekly or monthly live events. Among those is the main monthly Sexpot Comedy show, held at Denver's historic Oriental Theater, which Juett produces. Combining national headliners with local talent, the show regularly includes free pizza coupons from Khalatbari's Sexy Pizza, and is “semi-pot-friendly” due to its tie with Khalatbari's marijuana dispensary, Denver Relief.
Juett will also oversee SexpotComedy.com, set to launch later in 2014, which will publish original content in the form of comedy podcasts, videos and literature, similar to Nerdist Industries or Earwolf. It will also feature a comprehensive calendar of Denver's ever-expanding lineup of comedy events.
