The Monthly Junk started in 2013, as Sarah Adams and Maggie Rieth Austin sat in front of an old couch in the Dallas Comedy House lobby and laughed and laughed at how hilarious they were. Before too long, they put up a camera and filmed some bits. Ever since that day, they have been making each other laugh on and off camera.

As a duo, The Monthly Junk has screened their film projects at over 19 national film festivals, including the critically acclaimed fests Indie Memphis (2022 Blender), USA Film Festival (2017 The Service Elevator) and The Tallgrass Film Festival (2022 Blender, 2017 The Service Elevator). They have produced digital content for clients such as WFAA, University of North Texas Athletics, Joketown, and Fearless Dallas, and taught digital content creation for Dallas Comedy House. In addition to film and commercial work, they have performed, taught, and directed comedy of all kinds for stage and screen for the last decade. This dynamic duo also produces Unstable Topics. With several thousand downloads, this trivia comedy podcast that’s currently streaming on JAM and wherever you get your podcasts.

Whatever the medium, if it’s a creative challenge or opportunity to add some humor to a project, The Monthly Junk is ready to dive head first into make ‘em ups with a purpose.
