You might have heard that we’ve started this Patreon page in order to live our best life as an actually publicly funded bureau. As with all crowdfunding campaigns, we’ve got rewards on top of providing the invaluable service.
They are as follows (and there are more to come):
TCB “Electricity” Fund-$1 or more per month
You’ll be acknowledged and thanked at official Comedy Bureau meetings for keeping our lights on. Also, you’ll get access to pre-sale tickets to exclusive Comedy Bureau events before anyone else.
TCB “Hat” Fund-$5 or more per month
Support our penchant for hats. For this, you’ll get pre-sale access to Comedy Bureau events and be included on a Comedy Bureau “Digital Wall of Trustees”
TCB “Lunch” Fund-$10 or more per month
Help us be a more legit LA office by letting us order lunch for the office. For that, you get an official sticker of our fancy new logo done by Chris Fairbanks, access to pre-sale for Comedy Bureau events, and included on our “Digital Wall of Trustees”
TCB “Fossil Fuel” Fund-$20 or more per month
We can’t cover comedy like we do by taking the train here in LA, so covering our gas expenses would be a blessing. For that, on top of pre-sale tickets, Digital Wall of Trustees, and a sticker, we’ll send you a fancy, shiny enamel pin of our official logo. Also, if you’re against fossil fuels, you can give us way more money and we can be able to go get a Tesla.
TCB “Step and Repeat” Fund-$40 or more per month
Yet another part of being a legit LA operation is having a “step and repeat”. Helping us out with “that” will get you pre-sale tickets access, sticker, enamel pin, Digital Wall of Trustees and a download of our Comedians of Interest Vol.1 done in collaboration with AST Records.
TCB “Actual Office Space” Fund-$100 or more per month
Little known fact: We are a “mobile” operation. Help us “work a little less” at whatever coffee shop or bar has wifi. For that get everything above, then go on one “ride along” and grab drinks with The Comedy Bureau (availability pending and must be within the Greater LA Area)
TCB “Spy Equipment” Fund-$1,000 or more per month
We are a bureau, but one that just doesn’t have spy equipment. Help us with “that” and you’ll get the rewards above, we’ll personally scout comedy for you with whatever you’re looking for to the best of our very highly regarded abilities.
Also, if we get $9000 pledged monthly, we’ll start a NYC Branch of The Comedy Bureau (it’s probably the #1 thing we get asked about outside of “what are the good mics?).
So, please support The Comedy Bureau on Patreon and you could get a slick looking enamel pin and look slightly more official in the world of comedy.
Keep The Comedy Bureau Going Forever via Patreon
Keep The Comedy Bureau Going Forever via Patreon
We have a Patreon page where you can pledge money to support us. As you probably know, supporting the arts will become more dire very soon and maybe, just maybe you can include us within that notion.
Also, you can exclusive stickers and enamel pins!

We, and by “we”, I mean just one person, Jake Kroeger, love supporting LA comedy and, by extension, the art form of comedy through efforts put forth here by The Comedy Bureau.
We’ve been doing for almost 7 years. It might almost be 7 years. We’ve kind of lost count because we haven’t taken a day off since 2010. That’s not hyperbole. “We” just a) love comedy and b) are workaholics.
Being a publicly funded resource is hard enough through official channels a la grants or funds handed out by governments or well known benefactors.
Rather than go that route, we’re looking to all of you fine folks that have dug us throughout the years to help us out by pledging on our Patreon page to not only keep our operations going, but help us expand possibly to NYC and improve and streamline the Bureau as a whole.
Any bit helps. If you can pledge $1000 or pledge even just $1, spread the word, etc., we can keep serving our community at large forever.
If everyone who used The Comedy Bureau pledged a $1 a month, especially with 11K followers on Twitter and 20K+ on Tumblr, we could run forever and go nationwide.
Please support us here. You can also support us through Venmo @ jakekroeger.
Support Johan Miranda on Patreon, a Great Up and Coming Comedian Who Is Also a DACA Recipient (i.e. Whether He’ll Be Able to Work and Stay in the Country Is Up in the Air Right Now)
Johan Miranda has cemented himself in LA’s vast comedy scene and is one of many that deserves to stay in our good ol’ US of A.
From fellow comedian Clare O’Kane:
“Your friend and mine, mister Johan Miranda, is currently looking for work as a comedy writer. Johan was a recipient of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) “an executive action that provides a work permit and deportation reprieve to people who were brought to the U.S. as children and stayed illegally."Dingus Trump claims he will do away with DACA when he is in the Whitest House U’ Know. IF he follows through with this, our bud Johan will have his work permit revoked and he will no longer be able to legally work in the US. This will make life harder for our friend, so let’s do what we can to help him. Below is a link to Johan’s Patreon page. Here you can set up a monthly donation for Johan while he continues to pursue a career in comedy writing. Johan is one of the most talented, kindhearted dudes I know. Let’s help Johan stay/work/party in America.”
