Mike Young, Bret Ernst Set 5-Day Live Stream Event for Streamer Zeam

Zeam, the innovative streaming platform known for bringing hyperlocal content to global audiences, is gearing up to debut its very first original live comedy event. Titled “Destination Comedy Starring Mike Young and Bret Ernst,” this multi-day live-streamed special is set to take place from July 29 to August 2.

During the special, viewers will have the chance to follow comedians Mike Young and Bret Ernst on a five-day road trip across Young’s home state of Michigan. Along the way, they will make stops at various roadside attractions and local landmarks, culminating in a comedy show at the Park Theater in Holland, Michigan. Fans will also be able to interact with the comedians in real-time through social media.

The concept behind “Destination Comedy” perfectly aligns with Zeam’s mission to showcase local partnerships and explore geographic treasures through a comedic lens. Jack Perry, CEO of Zeam, emphasizes the unique nature of this production, stating, “Comedy content is in high demand, but ‘Destination Comedy Starring Mike Young and Bret Ernst’ offers a fresh perspective. By bringing this innovative live-streamed special to Zeam, we are inviting viewers from across the country to experience Michigan through the humor and wit of native Mike Young.”

Mike Young, a seasoned comedian with experience in film, television, and stand-up, expresses his excitement for the upcoming road trip with Bret Ernst. Ernst, known for his role as Cousin Louie on “Cobra Kai” and hailed as one of Variety’s Top 5 Comics to Watch Live, is equally thrilled about the collaboration. Young shares, “I can’t wait to hit the road with Bret and deliver non-stop laughs to our viewers. Traveling through Michigan adds a special touch to the experience, and we believe this live-streamed comedy special will resonate with audiences seeking authentic, real-time entertainment.”

The concept of “Destination Comedy” was conceptualized by actor John Stamos, who serves as Zeam’s chief innovation officer. Stamos, best known for his role on “Full House,” joined Zeam last year to contribute creative ideas and enhance the platform’s offerings. Launched in February 2024, Zeam has quickly gained traction in the streaming industry with the support of Syncbak, a leading streaming tech firm, and Gray Television, a prominent TV station group.

As Zeam prepares to bring “Destination Comedy” to audiences worldwide, the platform continues to push boundaries and redefine the streaming landscape with engaging, locally-inspired content. Stay tuned for this groundbreaking live comedy event that promises laughter, entertainment, and a unique glimpse into the comedic talents of Mike Young and Bret Ernst.
