In 2015 Alex began experimenting with high-concept, live game shows such as CURSES: The Game Show of Swears, Obscenities & Censorship and Progress/Congress: A Whole Political Season In One Hour. Alex hosted the first Weeding Out The Stoned: The Game Show of Sobriety Tests at Five Dollar Comedy Week and the show as an instant hit. Since then Weeding Out The Stoned has been featured in New York Comedy Festival, Borscht Belt Fest and Highlarious Comedy Festival. The show has been called, "The Best 4/20 Events in The United States," by Philadelphia Weekly and, "The Chillest Ways To Spend 4/20 in NY & NJ," by Gothamist. CelebStoner calls it, "The game show for potheads." Weeding Out The Stoned has partnered with NORML to spread awareness about legalization efforts and worked with sponsors such as Cheech & Chong Glass, Blazy Susan, West Coast Gifts, The Goods, The Green Room and Utokia Farms.

Grubard fell in love with a Philly gal and they moved to Jersey City, New Jersey where Alex began an effort to promote the city's comedy scene in this historic, but young modern community. He promoted shows all over town at venues like White Eagle Hall, Corgi Spirits, Pet Shop, Sip Studios and WFMU's Montgomery Hall. Alex received a grant from the Jersey City Arts Trust and Jersey City Arts Council to promote multiple high-concept comedy shows in Jersey City. Recently Alex filmed a special for Four By Three Comedy that will be released in late 2023.
