This week on We Playin’ Spades, the Turquoise Table becomes the unofficial headquarters of gay comedy as Paris Sashay pulls up with writer and comedian Alex English as her spades partner — repping for the gays and proving, loudly and proudly, that the community does in fact know how to play spades. From the first deal, it’s nothing but jokes, chaos, and cultural correction. Paris gets into her former life dating men and running them for their money, why she eventually retired from men altogether (the men ain’t the same men no more), and how she never really had to come out of the closet because her family only had one condition: the woman better be a baddie. No press conference. No announcement. Just pure aesthetics. Alex breaks down the heckler that completely changed how he approaches stand-up, forcing him to expand his material and divulges the very specific way you can tell he's “not that gay.” Nick delivers the most unhinged pee-in-the-bed story ever told at the Turquoise Table, which somehow turns into a therapeutic breakthrough and then pivots into shaming Courtney, Paris, and Alex for their embarrassingly weak knowledge of Black cinema. Receipts are pulled. Legacies are defended. All four comedians bond over bombing on stage, the universal pain of a bad set, and why punching down is lazy comedy. It’s one of those episodes where the jokes are reckless, the lessons are real, and everybody leaves slightly more exposed than they planned. The Gays…they’re playing spades.©2026 Wondery (P)2026 Wondery Funny
