Both How Did This Get Made? with Paul Scheer and The Lesbian Agenda with Sophie Santos have built their respective reputations with both questioning the established order of things. So, they’re joining forces for a very special evening with their dive in, dissect, reenact, and discuss with the crowd in attendance the 90s Kevin Smith staple, Chasing Amy, in order to see if a movie about a lesbian falling in love with Ben Affleck holds up in 2022.

Here’s the trailer in case you forgot how 90s it is.

It should be nothing but great fun and definitely the evening for those who are currently steeped in 90s nostalgia. This Discussion & Analysis of Chasing Amy with Paul Scheer and Sophie Santos is set for Fri. Aug. 5th at Dynasty Typewriter at 7:30PM PT. Tickets are $20 and you best go get them now here as we do have a feeling that this will sell out.

It should be pretty clear by now that, for several big chunks of the country, abortion under any circumstances will become illegal. That’s why it’s crucial right now to raise money for those most vulnerable as a result of The Supreme Court’s turn to the Dark Side with their overturning of Roe vs. Wade last week.

We’re going to use this particular post to shout out upcoming LA & NYC comedy shows that are supporting abortion funds/abortion access/reproductive rights/etc. The ones we’ve got listed thus far have great folks on them and have chosen critical funds/orgs to back. Buy tickets, go support, and/or donate directly to the places they’re giving money to.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 117: Sophie Santos & Lesbian (+ Filipino & Others) Agenda

June 22, 2022

News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report

intersectionality, lesbian agenda, sophie santos

The issue of identity in comedy is more prevalent than perhaps it has ever been in comedy. That’s actually a great thing even though the seeming explosion of varying perspectives and backgrounds that all have their different takes and stories may feel overwhelming to some. Both Sophie Santos, wonderful comedian/creator of The Lesbian Agenda, and TCB’s Jake Kroeger delves into their own intersectionality and what that means for their comedy and comedy at large wherever they go.

Yep, we also get into Chappelle’s latest deal, Cosby being found guilty, and where to watch season 3 of Wellington Paranormal.

Follow Sophie @sophieesantos on IG and sophiesantos.com. Get tickets for The Lesbian Agenda @ Dynasty Typewriter on 6/28 here. As mentioned in the ep., please donate to Trans Lifeline.
