Comics are used to having insults thrown their way (along with the occasional beer bottle), but Nate Bargatze was unprepared to face a new occupational hazard on his USO tour to Honduras: venomous snakes.

Stand Up Planet showcases an uprising of fresh and fearless comics around globe, changing the world one joke at a time. Equal parts reality TV, documentary journey and travelogue, Stand Up Planet brings viewers on a quest to find the best humor coming from far corners of the developing world. Hosted by L.A.based comic, Hasan Minhaj (Arrested Development, MTV's Failosophy) and featuring stand up comics Nate Bargatze, James Adomian and Michelle Buteau, Minhaj invites two comics from India and South Africa to perform in Hollywood for a television special. Along the way they meet comedy legends: Bill Cosby, Carl Reiner and producer, Norman Lear.

Premieres May 14th on LinkTV, KCET and PIVOT.
