Spotlight On Realistic Romance
Last night at Sound Mind Live in New York City, comedian Jordan Carlos hosted another electrifying installment of Humpd Comedy. The weekly stand-up series, known for its playful experiments with pop-culture themes, took a behind-the-scenes look at how romantic and intimate moments are staged for film and television. Fans were treated to a live demonstration guided by intimacy coordinator Amy Northup, who commands industry buzz for her work on both the big and small screens.
Hands-on With Hollywood Closeness
Carlos kicked off the evening by admitting that most viewers take on-screen romance for granted. “We learned how sex happens in the movies and on TV, and even did a little demo under the guidance of intimacy coordinator extraordinaire Amy Northup,” he quipped, referencing his Instagram post. Candid photos from the show capture Carlos and Northup walking the audience through choreography, safety protocols and camera-friendly positioning—elements that rarely make it beyond the editing suite.
In a related Instagram announcement on May 22, Humpd Comedy noted Northup’s impressive credits. According to that post, she’s worked on feature films like Fire Island and Stress Positions, and on TV series including Elsbeth and Harlem. Her presence brought a professional lens to the comedic experiment, highlighting the growing demand for trained coordinators who ensure comfort, consent and authenticity in romantic scenes.

Fans of Humpd Comedy have come to expect a rotating lineup of rising stand-up talents alongside special guests. Recent shows have featured comics such as Glitter Cheese, James Tom XO and Sureni, all hand-picked by Carlos for their off-beat perspectives. One Instagram update described the event as “one for the books,” and tickets typically sell out for each Wednesday night performance.
Carlos, a veteran stand-up and writer whose credits include Saturday Night Live and TruTV’s World’s Dumbest, aims to keep the format fresh. Between his own bits and the live tutorial, he managed to strike a balance between humor and education—proving that learning how Hollywood stages affection can be as entertaining as it is enlightening.
