An Emmy-nominated writer on Mr. Show, Tompkins also hosted TV shows like Best Week Ever and voiced Mr. Peanutbutter on the Netflix animated series Bojack Horseman.

Kelsey Wilson, performing as Sir Woman, is an Austin-based musician who rose to prominence after 14 years as lead vocalist and violinist of the Americana group Wild Child. Wilson launched her solo project in 2022 with a self-titled debut album that earned her Artist of the Year at the 2023 Austin Music Awards. Her music, drawing from early influences in gospel, R&B and soul, has garnered features in Rolling Stone, Spin.com, Variety and the Austin Chronicle, while accumulating more than 30 million Spotify streams.
