TCB Debriefing 10/25/23: TCB 13 Years Old, Mike Birbiglia, Eric Andre, Fargo S5, Comedy as Home

1. Oct. 25th, 2010, Jake Kroeger founded The Comedy Bureau. Oct. 25th, 2023, he continues to run it, typing out this very sentence while at a diner at midnight. We thank you for reading this and making the countless hours in service of the community and art form of comedy worth it. Please keep reading, spreading the word, and, if you can, support.

2. One of comedy’s all time greatest storytellers, Mike Birbiglia is going on a 24 city tour that will have nothing to do with a three camera set up on Zoom or working on jokes on IG Live. Please Stop the Ride is set to span the entirety of North America starting this Winter and stretching into the end of Spring 2024. Tix available now at birbigs.com w/code PANCAKE.

3. Eric Andre basically answered the question of who would win in a “prank-off” between him and Johnny Knoxville with a very, very loose interpretation of the word “prank” on Kimmel this week.

4. The fifth installment of Fargo seems to get back to that über dark humor of the original movie in 1996 thanks to the peculiar wife played by Juno Temple. Take a gander with the official trailer here, then look for new episodes on FX/Hulu starting Nov. 21st.

 

6. We’ll leave you with this: Comedy is a home that we, here at TCB, never knew until we found it. We hope we can give you that same sense of home if you’re looking for it.
