DESCRIPTION
``Mash Up,'' the series, spawns from a 2011 special of the same name and features host T.J. Miller fronting a mix of stand-up, sketch comedy, and visualizations. Or, as Comedy Central says, the series allows your ears to hear a joke and your eyes to enjoy dramatic re-enactments of said joke. Besides Miller's act, there are also stand-up performances by a host of comedians, among them Chris Hardwick, Hannibal Buress, Chris D'Elia, Pete Holmes and Reggie Watts.
