The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 118: Max Beasley & Being on the Side of Jokes

June 29, 2022
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report

It’s one thing to be a rising star in the comedy scene and navigating all the terrain that comes with that, but it’s a whole other thing entirely to also navigate your identity, especially if you’re openly transitioning between genders at the same time. If you’ve seen one Max Beasley recently, you’ll agree that they’re balancing the two journeys exquisitely and getting funnier every time you see them. Max chats in-depth about the ins and outs of forging that path for themselves and always going for the jokes vs. so-called “clap-ter”.

Also, we say goodbye to the one and only Nick Nemeroff.

The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 82: Jeena Bloom & Forward Moving Needles

There is so much happening with comedians that are trans that has nothing to do with Dave Chappelle. This week’s guest, the splendid Jeena Bloom, is proof positive that there is much to be celebrated and enjoyed with the comedic stylings of many trans men and women just like comedians of any other background. That includes stand-up, TV, movies, podcasts, etc. as well as thorough discussion of local neighborhoods in LA and NYC (neighborhood maps per the podcast conversation linked below). Also, “hot” takes on Mel Brooks’ History of the World Part 2, Tarantino thinking about doing a comedy, and, oh yeah, that Chappelle mess over at Netflix (NOTE: this podcast was recorded on 10/19/21, the day before the #NetflixWalkout).

For reference, as promised, here are neighborhood maps of LA (Frogtown is denoted as Elysian Valley for some reason) and NYC
