LOS ANGELES -- Two days before her wedding, comedian Cameron Esposito decided to have an unconventional bachelorette party. In lieu of an actual celebration, she decided to do something she loves: perform standup at a club in her hometown of Chicago.

"It was a bad idea in terms of stress, but also exciting because it was so new, and I didn't know if I'd ever be able to get married," Esposito told Mashable.

But that's also what made the comedy show so special. Esposito said she was able to touch on a wide range of topics, including marriage equality, gun control, drug policy and "why love is alive."

The two-hour show Marriage Material -- which Mashable has an exclusive clip of below -- is scheduled to debut on NBC's comedy-centric streaming service Seeso on March 24.

Esposito said she was drawn to Seeso because "there's a flood of creativity" on the platform.

The ad-free service, which NBC announced in October, features a mix of original content and previously broadcast TV series and late-night shows geared toward comedy nerds. It costs users $3.99 per month and is available on seeso.com, streaming platforms, connected devices and other distribution partners.

"There are expectations [with traditional TV] that a show needs to bring in X million viewers between this live timeslot to justify the ads," Esposito said. "Seeso's revenue structure is different, so their expectations are different. They are really reaching out to talent they believe in....and asking comics, ‘what’s the passion project you want to make?’ It's a great time to be a comic."

Seeso will continue to roll out exclusive original series, including The UCB Show, from hosts, creators and Upright Citizens Brigade founders Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts and Matt Besser, and animated sketch series The Cyanide & Happiness Show, based on the popular web comic.

NBC's library of comedy shows — such as 30 Rock and 40-plus years of Saturday Night Live — is also available to subscribers, along with "a slew of Monty Python."

Esposito and Butcher also have a half-hour, single-camera original series called Take My Wife coming to Seeso later this year.
