The Toledano Tapings are back for Year 3! We are filming 30 minute comedy specials for the best comedians Louisiana has to offer. This week: Maggie Shipley & John Merrifield.

John Merrifield

John Merrifield is a stand-up comic based in Lafayette, Louisiana. Over the past decade, he has built a reputation for deadpan and absurdist one-liner delivery, opening for acts including Tom Segura, Robert Kelly, Shane Torres, Matt Braunger, Myq Kaplan, and David Liebe Hart (Tim & Eric). John has produced Couillon Fest in his hometown annually since 2023, has written satire for The Hard Times, and currently contributes one-liners and tags to Marcus Monroe’s viral ‘Stand Up on the Subway’ series.

Maggie Shipley

Maggie Shipley is a Lafayette comic and cohost of the podcast Re-Kindled With Jeff and Maggie. She has opened for greats including Sean Patton, Emo Philips, and Maria Bamford. The vibe is “fun gay aunt.”
