The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 268: Isaac Landfert & Keeping an Alt Comedy Theater Alive IN THIS ECONOMY

September 17, 2025
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
la comedy, stray theater, yard theater

4319 Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles has long been a home for alt comedy and despite the insanely chaotic times we live in, it will continue to be that way, in large part due to the efforts of Isaac Landfert. Formerly the YARD Theater, that venue will live on as The Stray Theater and continue on to be a space even more dedicated to its mission in the LA comedy scene. We talk about the preservation of the venue and the ins and outs of running a small comedy theater in the vast LA comedy scene with Landfert on this week’s TCB Field Report.

Produced by Jake Kroeger
Music by Brian Granillo
