''The Rubber Room''

SiriusXM launches "The Rubber Room," a new scripted comedy series that explores the lives of some bad apples from New York City's public school system who have been locked away in a "rubber room," a purgatory-like detention hall for wayward teachers. All eight episodes of the new show are available now on the SXM App and Stitcher Premium, and starting Monday, August 22 SiriusXM Raw Dog Comedy channel 99 will air one episode a week every Monday morning at 10am ET.

Actress Alison Pill (Star Trek: Picard, The Newsroom) stars in the dark comedy series as "Lindsey Whittle," a young, idealistic public school teacher who is framed for drug possession by her fellow teachers and then transferred to a rubber room - based on the real life version in New York City. While there, she must try to clear her name while she navigates her way through the surreal, prison-like environment filled with absurd, frequently corrupt characters. The all-star cast includes David Cross, Andy Daly, Becky Drysdale, Alex English, Erik Griffin, Tony Hale, Bobby Lee, Natasha Leggero, Al Madrigal, Patton Oswalt and Melle Powers.

"If you like con artists, bird nuggets, and asbestos, you will love this show," said Alison Pill.

"The Rubber Room is a wild, wholly original experience," commented SiriusXM Senior Vice President of Comedy Programming Jack Vaughn. "All Things Comedy did an amazing job producing the series, which gives listeners a 'captivating' sense of what it's like to be locked in a room with such an absurd group of characters, played by some of the most talented and hilarious stars in the industry."
