Sean's Comedy Corner: 7 Minutes in Heaven

Sean's Comedy Corner

In a comedy rut? Looking for something new to tickle your funny bone?  I've scoured the internet and beyond to bring you these comedy gems.

Episode One

7 Minutes in Heaven

Part talk show, part improv, part middle school rite of passage.



7 Minutes in Heaven was a web series/talk show hosted by Mike O'Brien.  O'Brien is an I/O and Second City Alum.  He is a member of the legendary I/O Harold team The Reckoning and was a writer for SNL from 2009 to 2015.  He became a featured player from 2013 to 2014, and sporadically contributed films to the show after that.

7 Minutes in Heaven is a talk show like none other.  For starters, it takes place in a closet and ends just like its namesake, the middle school party game.  In between is an eclectic mix of improv, stream of consciousness and plain-old weirdness.  His guests ranged from acclaimed actors and actresses, SNL alum, and more (Ellen, Hoda Kotb and the Insane Clown Posse to name a few).

7 Minutes in Heaven ran sporadically from 2011 to 2016 and was produced by Lorne Michael's Above Average.
