Ep. 82: Jeena Bloom & Forward Moving Needles
October 21, 2021 03:59 - 1 hour - 90.3 MBThere is so much happening with comedians that are trans that has nothing to do with Dave Chappelle. This week's guest, the splendid Jeena Bloom, is proof positive that there is much to be celebrated and enjoyed with the comedic stylings of many trans men and women just like comedians of any other background. That includes stand-up, TV, movies, podcasts, etc. as well as thorough discussion of local neighborhoods in LA and NYC (neighborhood maps per the podcast conversation linked below). Als...
Ep. 81: Caitlin Cook & New New York Comedy
October 13, 2021 21:07 - 1 hour - 74 MBOne of the more wide ranging comedy multi-hyphenates we know, Caitlin Cook, joins us as a musical comedian/writer/director/designer/illustrator to not only give us the lowdown on how in flux the NYC comedy scene is (even though it's supposedly "back"), but the vast spread of projects she has taken on. 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 r...
Ep. 80: Alissa Nutting & Alyson Levy & Following Illogic
October 06, 2021 22:01 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBNow 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.

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 chang...
Ep. 79: Paul Provenza & Comedy of Future Past
September 30, 2021 00:25 - 2 hours - 133 MBOne 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 ma...
Ep. 78: The Comedy Co-op & Sociocracy
September 22, 2021 23:23 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBJust 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 K...
Ep. 77: Chase Bernstein & Letting Go
September 15, 2021 21:16 - 1 hour - 57 MBChase Bernstein. Perhaps, the guest we have the best chemistry with on The Comedy Bureau Field Report? 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 Cha...
Ep. 76: DeAnne Smith & Transplanting Again
September 08, 2021 20:44 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBThe superb DeAnne Smith joins TCB's Jake Kroeger for this week's TCB Field Report as they have just re-transplanted themselves from LA to NYC (with love for both cities and their respective comedy hubs).

Follow DeAnne @deanne_smith on Twitter and IG and get tic...
Ep. 75: Kelly McInerney & The New Landscape of Comedy
September 01, 2021 21:25 - 1 hour - 109 MBThere is a vast new landscape to comedy as things may or may not continue to open up for live comedy here in the U.S. and across the world. 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, leadi...
Ep. 74: Julie Seabaugh & 9/11 Jokes
August 25, 2021 21:19 - 1 hour - 92.6 MBFor 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...
Ep. 73: Mikala Knezevich & Working the Comedy Matrix
August 18, 2021 23:50 - 1 hour - 77.2 MBGoing from coast to coast more than once, Mikala Knezevich has built quite the reputation for producing comedy. 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 oug...
Ep. 72: Jared Goldstein & LA in NYC
August 12, 2021 00:42 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBLA comedy scene favorite, Jared Goldstein, is having a splendid whirlwind of a time in NYC, doing all the shows, taping a Comedy Central Featuring set, and even running into comics he used to be intimidated by (when starting in LA) that now live and grind in NYC. Don't worry, there are no LA vs. NYC jokes here (that's so very early 2000s). That said, Jared and TCB's Jake Kroeger speed through this ep. on "New York minutes" and run through Jared's extended stay in NYC and lots of comedy head...
Ep. 71: Lane Moore & Reviving a Nationwide Tour
August 05, 2021 02:49 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MBHands down, one of the most electrifying and fun (and hopeful) comedy shows out there is Tinder Live! with Lane Moore. In addition to being an acclaimed comedian/author/frontwoman of a band, Moore has made an indelible mark in current comedy landscape by improvising her way through the dating app Tinder live on stage. This week's TCB Field Report follows Lane as she revives the in-person version of Tinder Live! for a giant 30+ city nationwide tour (after having to cancel a nationwide tour fo...
Ep. 70: Carly Hoogendyk & The New NYC
July 28, 2021 20:56 - 1 hour - 95.5 MBOne of our favorite comedy hyphenates Carly Hoogendyk (comedy producer-talent manager-photographer) joins us for this week's TCB Field Report to give us the NYC perspective on comedy reopening (we literally ask her to give us the lay of the land when looking out her apartment window) and what's going on behind the scenes out in the streets of NYC comedy (across several boroughs). FYI, there's some nice comedy show lineage history here between the ungodly amount of comedy that has been seen b...
Ep. 69: Luke McGarry & No Straight Lines
July 21, 2021 19:32 - 1 hour - 77.3 MBProlific cartoonist/illustrator/animator/musician Luke McGarry, who has done all sorts of wonderful comedy and music posters and art (including for Festival Supreme and MAD Magazine), joins in for this week's TCB Field Report.

Also, "hot" takes on Julio...
Ep. 68: Carolina Barlow & Truthiness in Love
July 14, 2021 19:01 - 1 hour - 84.3 MBTrue Romance's Carolina Barlow joins in on this week's TCB Field Report as she and TCB's Jake Kroeger go in on the newly announced Primetime Emmy nominations (which, for some reason include Cobra Kai in the comedy category?). 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 he...
Ep. 67: Sarah Squirm & The Craft of Absurdity
July 07, 2021 20:48 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBSarah Squirm, a trailblazer in meshing the grotesque into comedy, joins us for this week's TCB Field Report to not only break down the shift from quarantine life back into in-person life that's somewhat like the before times, but also get into the nitty gritty of absurdist comedy. 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 speci...
Ep. 66: Danielle Perez & Making Those Lists
June 30, 2021 21:19 - 1 hour - 93.1 MBDanielle Perez joins in the fray for this week's TCB Field Report where we follow her big pause from stand-up comedy during lockdown and then finding her way to acting (that includes acting classes on Zoom) and then, starting back into stand-up comedy with an already sold out live show. Also "hot" takes on Variety's 10 Comics to Watch, JFL's hybrid format this year, and what venues they know survived. Note, as Danielle said so deftly in this ep., that there will always be new lists. Follow ...
Ep. 65: Robby Hoffman & Knowing Thyself
June 23, 2021 21:33 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBIf you've come to a point of being so in tune with who you really are, as Robby Hoffman has, you might have fared well, personally and otherwise, during 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-...
Ep. 64: Ever Mainard & CC: Vulnerability
June 16, 2021 20:31 - 1 hour - 61 MBThe energy that Ever Mainard brings to a room or, for that matter, a Zoom call is undeniable and a welcome jolt to the monotony of any given day or yet another one during a global pandemic. 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. Not to give too much away, but Ever pulled it all off. Also, "hot" ta...

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 202...
Ep. 61: Teresa Lee & Singularity Humor
May 26, 2021 23:54 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBOn probably what would be the most metaphysical episode of The Comedy Bureau Field Report, writer/comedian Teresa Lee joins Jake Kroeger to not only examine the nature of reality/singularity/solo shows, but go through her journey in lockdown and how she did so much virtual stand-up (leading up to an entire virtual album) and was recruited for OnlyFans and how she is looking forward to flipping the script on the voyeuristic platform. Also, "hot" takes on A Black Lady Sketch Show getting rene...

April 21, 2021 19:10 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBFar before the pandemic ever began or was even a whisper of a thing, Jessica Watkins took it upon to herself to simultaneously make a stand-up comedy special and walk across America. She did indeed accomplish both, but it was not at all what she expected, which is a very timely experience to have as we've all had to go through the intense journey of the COVID-19 pandemic. Watkins' captured her entire experience in a documentary called SPECIALish, a stunningly beautiful portrait and meditati...

March 24, 2021 19:04 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBWithout really knowing that it was coming, we've been at The Comedy Bureau Field report, officially, for a year now (quarantine has a funny way of messing with our perception of time).

Also, Robinson gives just a little insight on Insecure s...

December 16, 2020 10:33 - 2 hours - 117 MBThe proliferation of virtual comedy due to the COVID-19 pandemic would naturally bring about the creation/transition of entire platforms/venues/etc. in order to serve a gradual mass exodus of comedy, for the time being, into the live-streaming sphere.
