Hosted by TV starlet Jan Sport (the iconic drag queen not the bag) and starring some of TikTok’s brightest comedians including Caroline Ricke, Jay Love, and Noah Miller, “Disorientation” is a series of comedy skits covering the very real challenges of post-pandemic life and being optimistic in the face of the unknown.

Each episode of “Disorientation” showcases original sketches from each comedian and offers reassurance that when it comes to things like back-to-school jitters, family drama with your parents, and quarantine woes, you’re really not alone. Bringing her famous wit and sass to the party, Jan Sport offers commentary on each episode and introduces the comedians.

“As indicated by my name, working with JanSport has been something I’ve manifested for quite some time,” said Jan Sport. “I am honored to be taking part in this series—my hope is that anyone watching takes away one thing; keep your head up and when things feel a little disoriented, don’t forget to laugh.”
