Yes, we know that almost everyone went out and started a podcast while stuck in self-isolation and we’d like to state, for the record, that we were going to do that back in the “before times” when only kind of a lot of people were doing that.

Anyhow, This is The Comedy Bureau Field Report, (brought to you by Bleav Podcasts) a neatly packaged rundown of comedy news that’ll be less than a half hour (ok, this first one is over half an hour-give us a break) and definitely be about comedy only with TCB’s very own founder and director Jake Kroeger.

This first episode features guest co-host (we’re going to have a lot of those) Ian Abramson who has pulled off doing a version of SNL all by himself, two weeks in a row, called Saturday Night Quarantine on Twitch. We talk about the weird times comedy is living in as well as what’s new and wonderful that you should add to your daily binge list while hunkered down and even what might lie ahead for the future of comedy when things start coming back (whatever that ends up meaning).

Please Get David Venhuizen’s Marvelously Silly Debut Album “Barn Door Open”

March 26, 2020

comedy album, david venhuizen, stand up comedy

David Venhuizen has always stuck to his guns of being one of the abjectly sillier comedians in the LA scene for as long as we’ve seen him go up. His commitment to his bits, never breaking is something to behold.

While listening to this debut album, Barn Door Open, we were reminded of that fact that in the 10 or so years that we’ve seen Venhuizen go up around town, we’ve never seen him break even though the progression of his bits are so absurd and out of nowhere and truly go to places that you don’t expect. Often, he’ll start from a very grounded, organic place of very specific observations of his life, but David then oscillates to something fantastical or meta or even shout a rant that’s also joyfully out of left field.

Thus, Barn Door Open, really is a journey of a comedy album that will definitely make you enjoy forgetting about getting to any sort of destination (though there is one and it usually is very silly even when Venhuizen gets vulnerable near the end of the hour).

So, go get Barn Door Open, available now, here on Apple Music.

The ‘Lincoln Calling’ Festival Is Bringing Adam Cayton-Holland, Jo Firestone, Brett Davis, and David Venhuizen to Nebraska

If you’re a festival goer, you’ll notice more and more these days that big music and arts festivals are including a significant comedy portion in their programming.

Lincoln Calling in Nebraska, happening from Thursday, October 6th-Saturday, October 8th, is doing just that with the names above (who we feel that you should be well acquainted with for how funny they are if you’re not already) and many more.

If you’re in or around Lincoln, NE at the beginning of October, you can (and should) get your tickets here.
