Just two more weeks until what seems like years and years of waiting for another season of Three Busy Debras comes to an end. The unrelenting absurdist comedy from Mitra Jouhari, Alyssa Stonoha, and Sandy Honig was such a joy when it first debuted in 2020 and kind of like What We Do In The Shadows, we felt like we were just biding our time until the second season came around.

Thank goodness that Sun. Apr. 24th is pretty damn close and you can plan accordingly to stay up to midnight to watch it live (or watch it at your leisure on HBO Max the next day).

As we said up top, you can take a more Debra look (there’s a lotta lotta Debra) at season 2 with the full trailer here.

Here’s Your First Gander at Season 2 of Three Busy Debras

Your favorite trio of Debras, the three busiest ones played by Alyssa Stonoha, Mitra Jouhari, and Sandy Honig, are finally back for season 2. The first season of Three Busy Debras premiered on Adult Swim two years ago right when a certain global pandemic struck.

Their particular brand of absurdist humor, even though it’s satire to the nth degree of the unfortunately real world, is still such an escapist joy that we’ve dearly missed them for however long this time has felt for you (ten years for us, at least).

This second season of Three Busy Debras is due out on April 24th on Adult Swim and will be available to stream the next day on HBO Max. Until then, you can remind yourself what a ridiculous delight Three Busy Debras are with the first official look/clip of season 2 here.

In Jan./Feb. 2020, we were so excited that we were getting to go to SXSW for their big comedy shindig for the first time. For years, SXSW’s comedy off-shoot was a pretty big, fantastic swell of comedy in Austin, an already very solid, thriving comedy scene as is.

2020 was 2020 and, of course, that didn’t happen. SXSW was actually one of the world’s first major festivals to postpone indefinitely due to COVID-19.

Now, here in Feb. 2022, SXSW is thankfully resuming their comedy festival and are doing things up bigger than we remember from last time. From Mar. 11th-19th, those in attendance will get to see the comedy stylings of:

Alyssa Stonoha • Andy Haynes • Anthony Atamanuik • Blair Socci • Bonnie McFarlane • Bruce McCulloch • Byron Bowers • Camilla Cleese • Danielle Schneider • Doug Benson • Dulcé Sloan • Eddie Pepitone • Eleanor Kerrigan • Emma Willman • Ian Lara • Jessica Michelle Singleton • Jim Gaffigan • Joe DeRosa • John Cleese • John Gemberling • Jon Daly • Kiry Shabazz • Liza Treyger • Logan Guntzelman • Marina Franklin • Mary Lynn Rajskub • Matt Besser • Matthew Broussard • Mike Lawrence • Mike Yard • Mitra Jouhari • Nick Thune • Punkie Johnson • Rich Vos • Ricky Velez • Rosebud Baker • Sandy Honig • Scott Thompson • Sean Patton • Shane Torres • Stuart Goldsmith • Vanessa Gonzalez • Yamaneika Saunders

as well as special presentations/events:

Adult Swim Presents Three Busy Debras Season 2 Sneak Peek • ASSSSCAT (the first in-person since 2020) • The Comedian’s Comedian • A Night at the Comedy Store • Comedy with the Cleeses • The Creek & The Cave • Doug Loves Movies • Find Your Beach • Gotham Comedy Club • improv4humans • Matt Besser’s 420 Show • Roast Battle • The Stand NYC • Wide World of Dougs • Would You Bang Him?

Since SF Sketchfest had to postpone again, this will be the first big comedy festival of 2022 and you wouldn’t want to miss that, now would you?

If you don’t already have a badge for SXSW, you best get on that right now, right here.

While there were impromptu celebration at the official downfall of ego-maniacal Captain Planet villain Trump, there are more celebrations of all kinds to be had this month.

Yet, Adult Swim has tapped their resources and connections for what should be a pretty spectacular virtual shindig. Also, they’ve been live-streaming for quite some time, well before COVID hit, so don’t be surprised if they have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Today, they just announced their full line-up, which includes live-streams from Rick and Morty, The Eric Andre Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Tuca & Bertie and live-chat watch-alongs of Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast, Three Busy Debras, Metalocalypse, and, as you can see above, so much more.

Best of all, Adult Swim Festival will all be free to stream on YouTube, right here, this Fri. Nov. 13th and Sat. Nov. 14th.

News

The ultra-absurdist feminist satire Three Busy Debras has done so well that it’s getting a second season over at Adult Swim. That means more of the rambunctiously dark comedy from Debra, Debra, and Debra (Sandy Honig, Mitra Jouhari, and Alyssa Stonoha) in their overly bright, overly picturesque neighborhood.

Congrats to all three of the Debras on getting to stay busy and for this absolutely gorgeous renewal announcement card (if that’s not a thing yet, it should be).

In the meantime, you can stream or re-stream their first season over at AdultSwim.com.

Yep, We Started a Podcast: The Comedy Bureau Field Report (a Podcast About Comedy News and Nothing Else)

Yes, we know that almost everyone went out and started a podcast while stuck in self-isolation and we’d like to state, for the record, that we were going to do that back in the “before times” when only kind of a lot of people were doing that.

Anyhow, This is The Comedy Bureau Field Report, (brought to you by Bleav Podcasts) a neatly packaged rundown of comedy news that’ll be less than a half hour (ok, this first one is over half an hour-give us a break) and definitely be about comedy only with TCB’s very own founder and director Jake Kroeger.

This first episode features guest co-host (we’re going to have a lot of those) Ian Abramson who has pulled off doing a version of SNL all by himself, two weeks in a row, called Saturday Night Quarantine on Twitch. We talk about the weird times comedy is living in as well as what’s new and wonderful that you should add to your daily binge list while hunkered down and even what might lie ahead for the future of comedy when things start coming back (whatever that ends up meaning).

The Three Busy Debras, Sandy Honig, Mitra Jouhari, and Alyssa Stonoha, have always been hysterical with their fantastical, absurd, and satirically feminist with their sketches over the years (or that one time where they got to play Carnegie Hall).

Thus, we were thrilled to find out that they were getting a full-fledged, live action Adult Swim series and have been hotly anticipating it for all the months since we heard the announcement.

Three Busy Debras premiered last night on Adult Swim and completely lived up to their reputation of keeping things silly and subversive, pointing a chic, well-lit mirror right back at the patriarchy. It certainly it takes you to whole other world that is so wonderfully bonkers that you’ll maybe forget, for 10 minutes, about the one you currently live in.

So, with all of that said, enjoy the first episode of Three Busy Debras for FREE here at AdultSwim.com.

Three Busy Debras rose through the verve of their own absurdist feminist humor in shorts that they (Alyssa Stonoha, Sandy Honig, and Mitra Jouhari) have made over the years.

Now, they stand at the precipice of a full-fledged live action Adult Swim series and we can’t wait to see what hilarious abstract hijinks they’ve crafted for all of us.

Three Busy Debras Is Going to Series at Adult Swim Comedy Produced By Amy Poehler

Sandy Honig, Alyssa Stonoha, and Mitra Jouhari AKA Three Busy Debras are going to get their own, live action, quarter hour show at Adult Swim.

Those in the know have enjoyed their high absurdity both in shorts they’ve released and their special, pop-up engagement at Carnegie Hall.

Very soon, we’ll get to see their world of “Connecticut deranged housewives” unfold. Also, take note that this is Amy Poehler is going from EP’ing Broad City to EP’ing Three Busy Debras.

Personally, we can’t wait for this to give Adult Swim a bit of a fresh, new look.

Adult Swim Orders a Three Busy Debras Pilot

With an assist from Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite production company, Mitra Jouhari, Sandy Honig, and Alyssa Stonoha, otherwise known as the absurdist comedy troupe Three Busy Debras, will be making a pilot for Adult Swim.

You might remember that Three Busy Debras successfully did a Kickstarter in order to play Carnegie Hall, which only makes us wonder what they will do if they get their own TV show. We can only hope that Adult Swim picks up this pilot to series in order to find out.

Don’t even worry about the fact that they’re not asking how many white feminists, but exploring how three of them will screw in a light bulb and giving the old joke premise of “how many _____ does it take to screw in a light bulb?” a postmodern, intersectional-ist shake-up.

Just enjoy the latest sketch from hyper-absurd Three Busy Debras (Sandy Honig, Alyssa Stonoha, and Mitra Jouhari), Three White Feminists Screw in a Lightbulb.

Three Busy Debras Are Trying to Crowdfund a Show at Carnegie Hall

Only a handful of the biggest comedians have ever played the legendary Carnegie Hall including Bob Hope, Louis C.K., Kathy Griffin, Jerry Seinfeld, Phyllis Diller, and Steve Martin. For many, it was a lifelong goal to play there and signified a rarefied status in comedy.

Little did all of these people know that they could just rent it out for a bunch of money.

Comedy trio Three Busy Debras (you might remember them from their otherworldly Brunch video) uncovered this secret and plans on trying to put on their own free comedy show at a recital space in the very same Carnegie Hall through a Kickstarter campaign.

So, Sandy Honig, Mitra Jouhari, and Alyssa Stonoha are looking to raise $7500 and already have $4929 of that raised. If you donate, you could get anything from personalized poetry to requested cover songs to a .zip file of papers they wrote in college.

They have until May 19th to raise the money that will cover the base level cost of putting on a show there.

Get in on their mischief and donate here.
