TCB Debriefing 7/21-8/10: Roy Wood Jr. on CNN, Inside Out TV Series, Saturday Night Trailer+++

August 10, 2024
News
adam sandler, brian jordan alvarez, carmen christopher, chloe radcliffe, cnn, danny mcbride, english teacher, fx, high plains comedy festival, How to Die Alone, hulu, inside out, james adomian, jason reitman, john early, jordan peele, mitch hedberg, Molly Kearney, natasha rothwell, netflix, punch up, punkie johnson, ramy youssef, roy wood jr, sam morril, saturday night, scare tactics, snowflakes, solar opposites, southern book club's guide to slaying vampires, stephanie hsu, the incredibles, toy story, veeps

1. Roy Wood Jr. will be hosting his own topical panel show on, not Comedy Central, but CNN with Have I Got News For You. While The Daily Show did get Jon Stewart back, there is an unmistakable feeling that they missed out here.

2. Disney’s own version of Comic Con, D23, is this weekend and the big takeaway is that Mickey and company will be sticking with their big hits from Pixar in the form of an Inside Out series, another sequel to The Incredibles, and another sequel to Toy Story (which begs the question how much more existential crises can they explore through the nature of sentient toys).

3. Let’s call that a take 2 on Studio 60, but this time, from Jason Reitman that actually tackles the origin story of SNL head on (and it looks pretty damn great). Take a gander at the trailer for Saturday Night here, then look for it in theaters come Oct. 11th.

4. Adam Sandler took a big leap into the Safdie Brothers’ world when diving into Uncut Gems, and Josh Safdie is returning the favor by directing Sandler’s latest stand-up special, Love You (take a look at the trailer here). Let’s see if this leads to a Safdie Brothers slapstick comedy. Love You will hit Netflix later this month on Aug. 27th.

5. The High Plains Comedy Festival in Denver, CO is still one of the very best comedy festivals around (and is coming up soon on Sept. 19th-21st). Peep their first line-up announcement! THEN, go get your fest passes here.

6. Given how truly insane the winds of change feels these days, a wave of absurdism/non-sequitur/unapologetic deconstructionist satire in a comedy special (as opposed to more litanies of crowd-work-fueled comedy specials) feels more than needed. Fortunately, Carmen Christopher has come through with his latest and very hilarious special Live from the Windy City that serves up many shots of all those ingredients in addition to thankfully showcasing Christopher’s stand up chops in a non-COVID-socially-distanced setting. If you’re any level of fan of I Think You Should Leave, you might recognized Carmen from a sketch or two and, as such, you’re really going to dig Live from the Windy City (after all, Tim Robinson does have his name attached to this special). Live from the Windy City is now streaming on VEEPS and you can (and should) stream it here.

7. While Abbott Elementary has the hearts and minds of America’s primetime viewing audience, FX is giving the high school work place comedy its own treatment with English Teacher from Brian Jordan Alvarez (that seems to have the same very satisfying bite that Election had over 20 years ago). Also, Sean Patton as Markie might be TV’s latest scene stealer. See for yourself with the trailer here, then look for the premiere on FX/Hulu on Sept. 2nd.

8. James Adomian, who voices many of your favorite adult animated series, is one of comedy’s best minds and voices and has been for years now. Thankfully, his very first hour special is due out on 800 Pound Gorilla on Aug. 16th and then, for everyone, on Sept. 19th. Please enjoy his retro comedy special trailer for Path of Most Resistance here.

9. After having some of the very best moments in season 1 of White Lotus, Natasha Rothwell is taking center stage with her very own series How to Die Alone, a comedy following a carpe-diem-turn for a woman who is afraid to fly, but works an airport. See what Natasha has up her sleeve with the trailer for How To Die Alone here, then look for it exclusively on Hulu come Sept. 13th.

10. Both Punkie Johnson and Molly Kearney are leaving SNL, which means the new cast announcement for the next season might be big (and plenty diverse).

11. Ramy Youssef has signed a first look deal with Netflix, which is yet another step for the rising comedy star. Note that this doesn’t mean he has the answer to achieving peace in the Middle East (only great jokes about it).

12. Quinta Brunson and Stephanie Hsu are teaming up on a comedy feature for Universal. No plot details are available at this time, which leaves us to assume that it’s about a multiverse of public schools that also don’t have enough funding.

13. It’s about time there was a Mitch Hedberg documentary especially considering that he set an intention of telling jokes without references so he could be timeless. Keep an eye out for this doc from 222-2222 Films.

13. While Chloe Radcliffe is in Edinburgh right now racking up well deserved acclaimed for her marvelous solo show, CHEAT, let’s not forget that Chloe is really damn good at stand-up. See her Don’t Tell set here for proof.

14. Not only is the fifth season of Solar Opposites around the corner (Aug. 12th on Hulu) and it just got renewed for another season, but it seems as any lingering controversy with Justin Roiland’s exit is well in the rear view mirror. All looks like a well oiled machine in this trailer for the new season.

15. In addition to Sam Morril making his Amazon debut with his brand spankin’ new special You’ve Changed, there’s, essentially, a bonus track of crowd work/material available exclusively on newly forged comedian streaming platform PunchUp called “Buying Drinks”. If you loved Sam’s rooftop stuff, you’ll love this.

16. In addition to doing a sharply honed high school comedy, it would seem FX is angling on a Gen-Z version of Friends with their new series, Snowflakes. Shout out to comedian Malik Elassal has is kind of having a banner year in 2024.

17. We don’t know how many seasons What We Do In the Shadows will ultimately go, but thank goodness Danny McBride is getting to work on adapting his own vampire comedy from Grady Hendrix’s book The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.

18. While a return to pure comedy might seem unlikely for acclaimed horror director Jordan Peele, him taking on prank series Scare Tactics is a welcome dip back into comedy. Look for Peele to possibly revolutionize prank shows later this Fall on USA Network.

19. We’ll leave you with this: Free tickets to John Early @ The Bellwether on 9/17 anyone? Yes? Hit us up at thecomedybureau@gmail.com and we’ll see if we can hook you up.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 207: Chloe Radcliffe & Doing a Solo Show About You Cheating

March 13, 2024
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
chloe radcliffe, solo show

Chloe Radcliffe has been taking radical honesty and capturing of the full breadth of the human experience to a new level with, rest assured, plenty of jokes, in her astounding solo show, CHEAT. Radcliffe shares, in the hour, an in-depth journey of her pattern of cheating and really getting into the nitty gritty of perhaps why it might be happening (and that’s she still human and is not solely defined by her faults). It’s a hysterical, beautiful, and heart-wrenching show that really needs to be seen and heard and we’re so lucky that we got to talk to Chloe on this week’s TCB Field Report all about what openly talking about cheating as the sole basis for a show (and doing it so well) is really like.

Follow Chloe @chloebadcliffe across socials and get tickets to her latest performance of CHEAT if you’re in LA on Tues. Mar. 26th @ 7:30PM.

Pick of the Day: CHEAT (in LA) 3/3

cheat, chloe radcliffe, la comedy, solo show

While comedy certainly does have the power to demystify the things that we don’t necessarily want to talk about or deem unsavory and being vulnerable is certainly part and parcel to that, how vulnerable is any single comedian willing to get to shine a comedic light on what’s so often kept in the dark?

Well, one Chloe Radcliffe, in one of the most radical acts of honesty we’ve seen in a comedic performance, has put together a beautiful, heart-wrenching, and hilarious solo show about how she has cheated in almost every relationship she has ever been. It’s the rare piece of comedy (and, if we’re to really mull it over, art) that shows humanity in its entire spectrum, transgressions to transcendence and everything in between and a wondrous journey to show that people are more than they often great/awful things they do. Simply called CHEAT, it’s undoubtedly one of the best solo shows/hours we’ve seen in recent memory and you should definitely go watch it ASAP wherever it’s playing.

For Angelenos, you’ll have another chance come Sun. Mar. 3rd at 7PM at The Elysian. Tickets are $20 and you can (and should) go get them here right now.

Pick of the Day: Chloe Radcliffe: CHEAT (in NYC) 4/6-4/7

chloe radcliffe, nyc comedy, solo show

Seeing the name Chloe Radcliffe on a bill or a line-up should be reason enough to make an outing for an evening of comedy. The whipsmart candor and charm of Radcliffe has made her into an undeniable NYC comedy scene staple. Also, the notion of seeing a solo show about cheating from the perspective of the repeat cheating offender has to, at the very least, make you do a double take.

Combined together will be Chloe doing her solo show wherein she talks through her seemingly insurmountable struggles as a serial monogamist who has cheated in almost every one of her relationships. Knowing Radcliffe, it’ll be thoroughly engrossing as it will be illuminating, funny, and definitely worth the price of admission.

Speaking of which, Chloe is putting up this solo show, aptly named CHEAT this Thurs. Apr. 6th and Fri. Apr. 7th at The Under St. Marks Theater at 7:30PM. Tickets are $18.07 and you can (and should) go buy them here.

 

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 136: Chloe Radcliffe & Importance of Timing (Offstage)

a christmas story, banshees of inisherin, chloe radcliffe, tar

Comedy already doesn’t lend itself to a typical lifestyle/routine, but it can become even more tricky when you, inevitably, take on multiple hats within comedy itself. We talk to beloved NYC comedy staple Chloe Radcliffe on balancing time between the journeys of doing stand-up comedy and comedy screenwriting. It’s not so easy to juggle all of those AND get the doctor recommended amount of sleep all the time.

Also, “hot” takes on A Christmas Story Christmas, what separates comedy/drama/dramedy, and more.

One of the most bonkers comedy shows around, Late Late Breakfast, is going live on a live-stream! For the uninitiated, Late Late Breakfast issued random challenges and games for comedians to do while trying to do their act including having to make as many burgers as possible, fighting with paper airplanes, having to do a plethora of impressions, and more. Personally, we’re excited to see how they will pull off their crazy format via Zoom/Twitch.

As always, Tyler Jackson and Danny Maupin will preside as hosts of the controlled chaos and they’ve wrangled quite the line-up from around the country including:

Shane Torres
Maggie Maye
Casey James Salengo
Chloe Radcliffe
Ian Aber
Dante Powell
Sean Smith
AND MORE!!

Tune in and witness the madcap delights of Late Late Breakfast on Sat. Apr. 18th at 1PM PT/4PM ET at Holdthephone.tv
