In the time since Babs’ last appearance on TCB Field Report, she has helped erect a venue in the backyard of the one and only Paul Provenza dubbed “The Green House” (via Paul’s brilliant Showtime series The Green Room with Paul Provenza). Unlike the majority of shows that happen at a person’s home or “house venues”, there’s such a plethora of wondrous comedy gatherings that happen at the sane space of The Green House and Babs details all of it as well as the journey it took to get to transforming a patch of gravel by a hot tub into a joyous place for comedy and comedy adjacent things.

Follow Babs @babsromen on Twitter and @babsromen1316 on IG. Tickets for the live-stream of the latest Green with Paul Provenza (featuring special guest Doug Stanhope and others) on 6/17 are available at Nowhere Comedy here.

Babs Romen has been anything from Mitzi Shore’s right hand to a big time network development executive to a producer of the improvised stand-up international phenomenon Set List and everything in between. She knows the business and the art of comedy in and out and that made for a great, deep chat on the purpose of comedy and what she seeks to do with it, specifically Set List, as the world aims to open again. Also “hot” takes on an English remake of the Oscar winning Another Round, an adult animated spin-off of The Flintstones, and, yep, Joe Rogan’s nonchalant anti-vaxxer stance.

Pick of the Day: Speechless 8/27

At this point in time, PowerPoint presentations have been hijacked quite expertly by comedians to all sorts of comedic and satirical mischief. One of SF’s longer running innovative, indie comedy shows, Speechless, is specifically centered on the intersection between comedy and PowerPoint presentation with folks having to improvise an entire presentation with PowerPoint slides that they’ve never seen before.

Chaos abounds, in a very fun way of course, especially when comedians take to Speechless. An upcoming virtual edition on Thurs. Aug. 27th at 7PM PT/10PM ET will actually have Eddie Pepitone, Eliza Skinner, Colleen Smith, and Calum Grant slickly spinning their spiel into whatever their presentation has to be. It’s a fine, fine line-up and we can’t wait to see how they’ll dig themselves out whatever hole they’ll constantly be thrown into.

Tickets are $5* and you can (and should) go get them here.

*A percentage of the proceeds will go to ACLU.
