Turns Out Our Comedy Bureau Ridealong Airbnb Experience Lets “You Live Like a Hollywood Insider”
We just got mentioned in the same list with world famous costume designer Janie Bryant because of our Airbnb Experience of the LA Comedy Scene.
Book us for a night here.
We’ve been doing our Comedy Bureau Ridealong as part of Airbnb’s new Experiences program and have been delightfully surprised by how much folks enjoyed it (as well as we get a kick of making the rounds in the LA comedy scene with people).
So far, we’re at 5 stars and we’ll let the reviews do the rest of the talking below:
Jake is a warm and friendly host. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt like it was a very local – back door experience – an opportunity which I would not have normally had. Thanks Jake. I hope we meet again 🙂
-Simone
Had a fun time with Jake! He took me to 2 comedy shows and had a blast! I highly recommend this experience!
-Ray
It’s a great experience! I and Jake have a wonderful conversation over different subject. And two shows which Jake brings me to, are excellent! It’s definitely one of the best experience I’ve taken so far. You can really experience some great aspects of LA comedy scene.
-Alexander
This was hands down our favorite night spent in LA! Jake took us on an adventure exploring sketch comedy at UCB and stand up at the Hollywood Improv. Both events were sensational and so much fun. Any comedy fans or those just looking for laughs would thoroughly enjoy this experience. In addition to the shows, Jake took us to a fun diner for some delicious grub and took time to talk and share his wealth of comedy knowledge. We hope to book this experience again! Thanks, Jake, for such a memorable night of comedy.
-Aubree
We didn’t really know what to expect so when we started it was all a wonderful surprise! We went to two hidden comedy places that Jake knew very well. We even saw some comedians that we had seen on Comedy Central. Jake was a spectacular host. He knew all the ins and outs of comedy. You could talk for days about anything related to comedy and we almost did! I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone who want to have fun and laugh for an evening!!! Thanks Jake!
-Tammy
Jake loves comedy so much he glows. A must for comedy aficionados and dilettantes alike.
-Avi
Jake is a really friendly guy He was also very knowledgeable about the comedy business and the scene We went to 2 places that we would either not have known or picked on our own
-Sachin
Jake was an awesome host point blank. This man went above and beyond his duty to get me to laugh on the night we hung out. I mean my trip to LA started fairly sheisty.. flight delays of nearly 6 hours put a damper and I missed a whole day in LA, but Jake came through in the clutch and honored his deal even when he didn’t have to. Having only seen a handful of shows in my hometown he treated me to some shows that featured local talent and I was blown away. Even my hat became a sort of litmus test in the fact that at a point I had to take off my hat because the slight pressure on my head was doing a heck of number and giving me a headache every time I would burst into laughter. This man knows his stuff and no doubt his blog/website Comedy Bureau is in great hands. Thanks to him I met some phenomenal people, that I might never have interacted with ever and for that I’m truly appreciative. Thanks again and I will catch around town again. A very appreciative and thankful guest of your experience 🙂
-Eduardo
We had such a great time! The first show was at a venue we never expected, and all of the comics were hilarious! At the end of the show, we had some drinks and met many funny people. Next, we got to sit in the audience for the recording of a standup comedy special. This was another unexpected surprise and we really enjoyed it. Jake was a perfect host. He told us about the local comedy scene, he took us to an amazing diner when we got hungry, and he helped us find our way to the hotel. If you’re here for comedy, talk to Jake.
-Danielle
Jake is a true lover of comedy. He definitely knows the LA scene. A lot of the comedy he shared with me was filled with unquestionable wit, and while some were on the mainstream circuit, there were others you might never find simply because their wit is too unique, tailored toward a very cool audience. If you want an experience like no other, look no further than your man, Jake. My only suggestion is that you must be someone with a liberal heart and mind, and someone unafraid to laugh out loud.
-Jordan
Jake was an amazing host, it was great hanging out with a local comedian and having a glimpse at the standup comedy community in LA. I would definitely book this experience again! I hand a wonderful time!
-Ali
Expert guidance from a local celebrity. Jake will be able to answer any question you throw at him, and pretty much guarantees you a good time. Highly recommended.
-Courtney

Since launching our experience on Airbnb, the “Comedy Bureau Ride Along”, we’ve had guests from here in the U.S. as well as the U.K. and the Middle East.
Their thoughts on the experience:
“Jake was an amazing host, it was great hanging out with a local comedian and having a glimpse at the standup comedy community in LA. I would definitely book this experience again!”
“Expert guidance from a local celebrity. Jake will be able to answer any question you throw at him, and pretty much guarantees you a good time. Highly recommended.”
Both gave five out of five stars.
Honestly, it’s been quite the privilege to share the LA comedy scene with folks from around the globe that might have not gotten to see it otherwise.
Oh, by the way, we’ve got dates available if you want to book an evening with us.
UCB’s Cool Sh*t/Weird Sh*t taking the show into a convenience store, Hollywood
Airbnb has officially launched an exciting new “experiences” program where local experts can show visitors places and happenings that usually only denizens of that city could know and love.
Our founder, Jake Kroeger, is indeed hosting one of those experiences, a “Comedy Bureau Ride Along”.
Basically, we here at The Comedy Bureau see the best comedy in LA seven nights a week to keep tabs on what’s going on and what’s worth telling our readers about.

So, if you want to see what we see and hang with us as we make the rounds around the LA comedy scene, you can book us for a night here.

For your money, we’ll cover all admission to shows we go to, let you grab a ride with us from spot to spot, and hang with us after with comedians wherever that may be. Think of it like a police ride-along, but it’s for comedy and it’s with one of the most highly regarded authorities in LA comedy.
As you can see above and below, we really go wherever we have to for a hearty laugh. There are limited spots for our ‘ride along’, two per night in fact, and we’ve already got people reserving their spots. So, you might want to act on this fast.
Again, get more details and reserve your spot for the experience right now right here.

Henry Phillips has a new episode of our favorite disaster cooking show Henry’s Kitchen just in time for Thanksgiving.
If, for some reason, you’re itching to have a vegetarian friendly turducken, Henry’s not only got the recipe for you, but some advice on how to treat an airbnb guest if you’re doing that sort of thing in your studio apartment.
Watch and learn, sort of, here.
Glad to see that the most veteran late night talk show host is still up to his tomfoolery.
The latest fun, interactive, experimental stunt that Team Coco is attempting to pull off is having someone stay in the rafters of the Conan set in the “Night at The Conan Studio” contest on airbnb.
There’s sure to be all sorts of hijinks that will make for plenty of great segments. You’ll even get to watch a whole taping of Conan from the literal bird’s eye view.
Enter here before Jun. 1st.
A new game from “@midnight with Chris Hardwick” has comedians think up of airbnb listings that you would not stay at.
Thanks to Rory Scovel, Jon Dore, and Beth Stelling, we found places that we both would never would want to stay at, but are curious for how disturbingly funny they are.
