Just a Friendly Reminder About Our Open Submission Policy
At The Comedy Bureau, we always strive to highlight great comedy that might not get seen by a good number of people otherwise.
Thus, we’re always open to having stuff sent to us whether it be a sketch, web series, podcast, short film, live show, book, movie, album, TV show, essay, art installation, festival, etc. etc. for consideration to be featured at the site like we did for Derek Sheen’s fantastic album Tiny Idiot.
NOTE: we are still solely based in LA as of this time. So, live show listings/coverage tends to skew towards the Greater Los Angeles Area. However, we’re still game for big, one-off, and/or annual events like festivals, tours, and the like around the country such as Bridgetown or even the world (Eddie Izzard’s Force Majeure, Comedy Central International Festival, Edinburgh Fringe)
Please send all submissions to thecomedybureau@gmail.com. Apologies in advance if it takes us awhile to get back to you as our staff is on the small-but-mighty side.

The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail Season 3 Tapings Happening July 12th-July 16th
The free tickets are already all taken, but there will be a stand by line for every taping.
The LA comedy institution known as The Meltdown with Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani is going to tape for their third season as a showcase series on Comedy Central in a month and a half. Even though there are plenty of weeks between now and then, all the shows, of which there are eight, are sold out very quickly.
Still, like the actual weekly show, there will be a standby line for the two tapings per night that they’re doing at 7:30PM and 9:30PM on July 12th, 13th, 15th, and 16th. Here are some more details if you’re really set on going.
