Sarah Squirm, a trailblazer in meshing the grotesque into comedy, joins us for this week’s TCB Field Report to not only break down the shift from quarantine life back into in-person life that’s somewhat like the before times, but also get into the nitty gritty of absurdist comedy. We actually dissect several parts of the absolute must-see season 2 of I Think You Should Leave in breaking down how to come up with absurdist humor. Also, “hot” takes on Netflix’s latest line-up of half hour specials and new comedy venues that opened in LA as we’re coming out of lockdown.

In addition to the fireworks, hot dogs, and general stars, stripes, red, white and blue themes today, Netflix has a whole batch of half hour stand-up specials now streaming for you to enjoy under the series banner The Standups.

Nikki Glaser, Nate Bargatze, Beth Stelling, Deon Cole, Fortune Feimster, and Dan Soder all recorded a half hour stand-up special a few months ago in DTLA and they’re definitely worth your time.

Again, as there is no cutting away for a commercial break, there ought to be a much better arc and flow in these than what you’re probably used to seeing on TV over the years.
