We chat with her on this week’s TCB Field Report all about it and what work really goes into the making of a “gay fantasy” (and what that means for her, both now and in the future).

2. Rachel Scanlon and McKenzie Goodwin, hosts of one of the best queer podcasts around, just kicked off a gigantic Two Dykes and a Mic tour across North America that will last you almost the way to Thanksgiving. Go get tickets right now right here.

3. If you can’t get your Matt Berry fix quick enough when waiting for the next episode of What We Do in the Shadows, be thrilled to know that Toast of Tinseltown is now streaming free, at your convenience, on Roku.

4. Matt Groening’s Disenchantment is going to come to a close with season five on Netflix come Sept. 1st on Netflix. Five seasons is more than most shows last these days, but it’s unfortunately far from Groening’s other show, The Simpsons, which is currently at 34.

5. Kudos and cheers and applause to Seth MacFarlane as he just made a $1 million donation the Entertainment Community Fund to support those entertainment industry workers directly affected by the historic WGA/SAG-AFTRA Strike (Deadline). You don’t need to give a million, but you can donate to the ECF here.

6. In LA, let’s have a moratorium on calling any new comedy shows, Mixtape. There are too many already.

We are officially in October and there are plenty of things lined up all over the place to keep the next four weeks as spooky as can be, all leading up to Halloween itself. With that said, you don’t necessarily need to bury yourself in horror movies or source the scariest haunted houses to get those creepy thrills. Finding out why someone got ghosted by a comedian at a live show ought to be another great way to get some goosebumps (as well as some hearty guffaws too).

Kari Assad and James Hilmer will be serving up that very experience with a live recording of their podcast Ghost Detective that will double as a stand-up show and comic investigation of why someone in the audience might have been ghosted by someone when things “seemed” to be have going fine. Assad has lined up a wonderful handful of great LA comics perfect for this job with Bri Pruett, Mike Falzone, Rachel Scanlon, and Monique Moreau.

All the chills and thrills and laughs for this live edition of Ghost Detective is set for Mon. Oct. 17th at 8PM at The Glendale Room. Tickets are just $10 and you better snatch them up here.
