Wonder Project, the faith-based, family-friendly indie studio founded by Jon Erwin and Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, is getting into stand-up. On July 2, they’ll launch Wonder Presents: The Stand-Ups, their first project in that arena, comprising a series of specials that will roll out weekly.
Comics participating included Caroline Rhea, K. Trevor Wilson, Sterling Scott, Ola Dada, Zabrina Douglas, and Erica Sigurdson. The specials, from New Metric Media, will debut on Wonder Project’s add-on subscription streaming service with Prime Video.
Wonder Presents: The Stand-Ups is produced by New Metric Media in association with Wonder Project. Mark Montefiore is executive producer, with Max Wolfond serving as supervising producer and Logan Midroni as producer for New Metric Media. Rhea, Wilson, Scott, Dada, Douglas and Sigurdson are executive producers and writers of their respective specials. Darrell Faria served as director. Ani Haftvani and Ashley Hanna are executive producers for Wonder Project.
Behind the biblical drama series House of David and recent film Sarah’s Oil, Wonder Project is also one of the companies behind Young Washington, the upcoming film on the early life of George Washington, which releases via Angel Studios on July 3.
“At Wonder Project, we’ve always believed in the power of storytelling to move people — and nothing moves people quite like laughter,” said Ani Haftvani, who serves as SVP, Programming and Content Acquisitions at the studio. “We are thrilled to bring stand-up comedy into the Wonder Project family with six incredible specials that represent the best of this art form. This is just the beginning of what we have planned for comedy, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with our audience.”
Mark Montefiore, CEO & Executive Producer at New Metric Media, told us: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Wonder Project and this incredible selection of world-class comedians. Comedy has the power to unite, inspire and build community through shared experiences and we are excited that Wonder Project put their faith into stand-up.”
