The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 255: Laser Webber & Defying with Queer Joy

April 23, 2025
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
festival, gnc, laser webber, trans

These days, the notion of representation mattering is more crucial than it has been in a long time, especially when it comes to trans/gender non-conforming/non-binary folks. Thank goodness for the likes of people such as Laser Webber, a do-it-all performer/producer in all worlds in and around comedy, music, and theater to co-found The Joy Who Lived, a festival celebrating trans and gnc comedy/performance/art (that’s specifically counter-programming a Harry Potter play at the Pantages). We talk about the importance of communing and having joy whilst in survival mode in 2025.

Follow Laser @lasertheboy & The Joy Who Lived: trans/gnc comedy & performance festival @joywholived (that still has a handful of shows left, FYI)

Produced by Jake Kroeger
Music by Brian Granillo
