That includes directing the fantastic solo show/musical hybrid, A.J. Holmes: Yeah, But Not Right Now, working on her own original music, comedy and otherwise, and gearing up to go back on the road (and a million other things as doing all that you can...

Bleav in The Comedy Bureau Field ReportEp. 80: Alissa Nutting & Alyson Levy & Following IllogicNow might be the perfect time an animated dark comedy that follows a reanimated/undead mother trying to redeem herself with her family that just happens to run a funeral home in Florida. Thus, Teenage Euthanasia has just arrived from the beautifully funny minds of Alissa Nutting and Alyson Levy, who just happen to be this week's guests on TCB Field Report. They both take us through the long journey to getting one of the most unexpectedly joyful and redemptive new shows on TV and how it changed from its inception in 2016 to starting a writers room in April 2020...

Bleav in The Comedy Bureau Field ReportEp. 79: Paul Provenza & Comedy of Future PastOne of comedy's most respected minds, Paul Provenza, joins in for this week's TCB Field Report to go down the rabbit hole of the art form of comedy. Paul and TCB's Jake Kroeger explore so many different angles, different generations, and different perspectives that they ended zipping through the running time of a Marvel movie. Truly, a fascinating conversation that weaves through the new SNL hires and Just For Laughs partnering with Moontower and explores the philosophy of comedy and what many people are missing out that's coming up because they aren't looking to the past at Brother Theodore...

Bleav in The Comedy Bureau Field ReportEp. 78: The Comedy Co-op & SociocracyJust a bit over a few weeks ago, a mysterious entity only known as The Comedy Co-op was announced as a group that sought to make comedy better on nearly early level for performers, fans, and people working in comedy.That was about all when knew back then, but they've slowly pulled back the curtain over the weeks explaining exactly who they are (including their ever burgeoning Steering Committee) and what they're about (as well as what sociocracy is). This week's TCB Field Report has Jake Kroeger get even a deeper explanation how they're trying to break...

You judge for yourself as Chase and TCB's Jake Kroeger delightfully run through the news of the passing of Norm MacDonald, season renewals of Only Murders in the Building and The Amber Ruffin Show, and Jim Breuer refusing to perform at venues that require proof of vaccination. Chase also details the virtue of really just not giving an "F" and the freedom of it when doing comedy.Follow Chase @chasebernstein on IG and listen to her podcast Composed with Chase...

Navigating this new world of comedy is, it would seem, as daunting as starting over, which is why we talk to LA staple Kelly McInerney about how she is figuring her way through a scene she already knew (and possibly looking across the pond to the UK for more opportunity). She's also reviewed movies while stoned on the podcast she co-hosts, IMDWeed, leading to what movies they've missed out...

Bleav in The Comedy Bureau Field ReportEp. 74: Julie Seabaugh & 9/11 JokesFor our money, Julie Seabaugh is the preeminent comedy journalist out in the world and we're so lucky to have her on TCB Field Report this week. Her expertise and depth of comedy knowledge are so far reaching, which came in quite handy for the upcoming documentary she co-directed, Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11. As such, we talk about the effect 9/11 had on comedy and, conversely, how comedy's healing properties dealt with the aftermath (not unlike what's happening right now). Also, "hot" takes on SF Sketchfest returning, Showtime's updated comedy slate, and Brody Stevens Day.Follow Julie on...

She got the comedy bug after seeing one live comedy show and then asking for a job at the comedy club that very night and just wanted to be in and around comedy at all times. That has led her to taking on a plethora of shows in NYC, many of which are weekly. If you know the ins and outs of the production side of live comedy, which Mikala and TCB's Jake Kroeger go into here, you ought to know...

FYI, there's some nice comedy show lineage history here between the ungodly amount of comedy that has been seen between both Carly and TCB's Jake Kroeger.

There are plenty of actually spicy takes that follow.With that in mind, they reimagine what awards shows should be, especially for those that have been collectively snubbed. Carolina then takes us through going through a break-up just as she started a podcast about healthy relationships with Devin Leary, True Romance, and even get a bit True Romance-y by...

We actually dissect several parts of the absolute must-see season 2 of I Think You Should Leave in breaking down how to come up with absurdist humor. Also, "hot" takes on Netflix's latest line-up of half hour specials and new comedy venues that opened in LA as we're coming out of lockdown.

Hoffman is so masterfully herself whether on stage or in the writers room or in her personal life that taking on the pandemic was akin to taking care of business.Hoffman joins TCB's Jake Kroeger for an exploration of Robby's seemingly unflappable nature and the myriad of things she has been juggling this whole time from her call-in show on Planet Scum to her project Rivkah at...

Ever joins TCB's Jake Kroeger to simultaneously go through finding themselves as a performer once again (with some help from a very exclusive psychic), doing a solo show on Zoom, and juggling all of that while answering crucial e-mails.

As you might imagine, folks have gone through so much and are still, largely, processing what has happened/is happening still.RISK! thankfully evolved into a recurring virtual show and survived through 2020 and 2021 and is now set to return to in-person events (where the intimacy and vulnerability of storytelling is best featured).

Former TV development executive, comedy manager, and indie comedy producer Holly Gabrielson has indeed given plenty of thought as to go from helping orchestrate a comedy variety show on gondolas to what might be next for her. Thus, she discusses social justice, healthcare, and the entertainment industry at large and how it specifically affects comedy with TCB's Jake Kroeger. Also, "hot" takes on Kumail...

The short hits on the crucial topic of reparations for black people that the U.S. government seems like they're barely willing to entertain, much less actually go through with.
