Even before the pandemic, Bobcat Goldthwait had one of the most fascinating careers in comedy history with, as he says, “selling out” first as a stand-up, then finding his way to be a beloved indie director with work ranging from World’s Greatest Dad to God Bless America to Call Me Lucky to Jimmy Kimmel Live. Goldthwait continued along his own path as he moved from LA to the woods in Illinois to maintain his “day job” of doing stand-up comedy in order to make his small, but fiercely loved movies.
On this week’s TCB Field Report, Bobcat talks wonderfully in-depth with TCB’s Jake Kroeger about the ever-changing landscape of comedy through film/TV/stage through all the decades he has been in comedy and what lies ahead in the decades to come.
