Shit Sandwich kicks off Year 14 with a new host, Aimee LeCours
Aimee LeCours, who over the past five years has endeared herself to Orlando audiences eager for her style of comedy, is set to be the new host of legendary Milk District indie-comedy showcase Shit Sandwich. This news comes as Ross McCoy decided that after a decade, it was time for him to step back.
When Orlando comedian Matt Gersting launched Shit Sandwich back in June 2012, he wasn’t just filling an open Saturday night at Bull & Bush Pub in the Milk District — he was carving out space for a more curated and community-rooted style of stand-up. Shit Sandwich was never an open mic, never built for big names or quick hits. It was a showcase for comics who took their craft seriously, and it quickly became a central artery in Orlando’s indie comedy scene.
Over the years, Shit Sandwich evolved into a proving ground and gathering place, shaped by Gersting’s sensibility and sustained after his passing in 2016 by McCoy, who kept the flame alive while respecting the show’s original blueprint. Under McCoy’s stewardship, the showcase retained its reputation for smart, weird, often subversive comedy, while quietly becoming one of the longest-running shows of its kind in the area.
