While the many functions and purposes of comedy will be up for debate, its ability and capacity for healing is pretty undisputed. Squarely in that healing corner is multi-disciplinary comedian and artist Greg Barris who has gone so far as to make a very enjoyable and accessible-in-almost-every-way, pocket book for “deep healing” called DEEP HEALING // A BOOK OF HEALINGS.. We talk all about and around and through the reach and power of the art of comedy along with this delightful book that Greg co-wrote with Michelle Newman on this week’s TCB Field Report.

Follow Greg @galimmus on IG and get DEEP HEALING // A BOOK OF HEALINGS here and get tix to the Deep Healing live release show on 6/18 at the Elysian here.

There’s a great new comedy book, Notes from the Bathroom Line: Humor, Art, and Low-Grade Panic from 150 of the Funniest Women in Comedy, that has just arrived on shelves, both IRL and virtual, that is actually the first collection of writing by women comedians since the 70s. Amy Solomon, writer/producer on such great things like Barry and the editor of Notes from the Bathroom Line, joins TCB’s Jake Kroeger to discuss the journey of this crucial, hilarious book, how, even with 150 contributors, doesn’t come close to featuring all the funny women that you need to see/hear, and “hot” takes on Rick and Morty Day, SpongeBob Squarepants’ virus episode, and more.

You can and should get Notes from the Bathroom Line at notesfromthebathroomline.com
