Hello! I'm Forrest Phillips, I run social media for Chris Gethard's streaming comedy network Planet Scum. I'm also a content creator and multimedia artist who primarily works in audio, digital illustration, and video. My video work has screened at film festivals across the country as well as on NickMom, Yahoo!, and NBC's comedy streaming service Seeso.

I first entered the comedy industry by working at Rooftop Comedy / Audible. Over time, I rose through the ranks and became an Editorial Producer. My professional responsibilities shifted to tech, but my passion for comedy lead me to create the WE ARE TRASH PEOPLE podcast. WATP was a podcast which profiled the comedians who hosted Chris Gethard Presents. It has since shifted into a live stream which highlights the past work of the comedians of Planet Scum. I've heard personally from comedians that we have highlighted that our celebration of their work was super meaningful and energized them as creators.

I currently produce and co-host two weekly streams:

RADIO FREE MULTIVERSE

A comedy livestream centered on a multidimensional network run by evil aliens. Through this stream, I produce trivia shows, open mics, and more.

WE ARE TRASH PEOPLE

A weekly livestream which celebrates comedians connected to Chris Gethard's Planet Scum.

I'm also a behind the scenes producer on the weekly stream DREAM DETECTIVES an improv comedy stream where our three hosts answer viewers' questions about their dreams.
