Anjelah Johnson-Reyes starts each day with gratitude. When you remind yourself of what you’re grateful for and say it out loud, you’re not only speaking good into the world, but good into yourself. Each episode, Anjelah and her guest will recount the things that they are grateful for and dive deep into how those gratitudes affect their lives. We all have a lot to be grateful for, but there’s always that one thing that can set you off, make you mad, and give you a bad attitude. Or as Anjelah likes to call it, a maditude. So join Anjelah and friends as they share their gratitudes and maditudes and let it out and let it go on “Funjelah.”

Comedian Kevin Sullivan just wants one thing in this life: to be able to trick-or-treat as an adult. Why can't we have candy too? Actually, Kevin really wants to make people laugh, and he shares with Anjelah how a very persistent stand up coach got him on stage, why astrology and crowd work go hand in hand, and what it was like growing up with 8 siblings. He also shares how he has been co-parenting his dog with his ex for the past 10 years and how tennis has become his outlet for his competitiveness. And nothing bonds two comedians quite like heckler stories.
