Jena Friedman (Soft Focus), one of the best dark comedians/humorists out there today, is TCB Field Report’s honored guest this week. As the pandemic has taken hold of Jena’s computer, Jena calls in on the phone with TCB’s Jake Kroeger and discusses the unfortunate luck of being right about the pandemic, some optimism about an eventual return of comedy, and some hints at what to look out for from Jena in the future when we have a vaccine. Also, they do some quick takes on being excited about the just announced Primetime Emmy nominations and Bridget Everett’s also just announced new HBO series, Somebody Somewhere.

Follow Jena @jenafriedman on Twitter. Watch Jena’s Soft Focus specials here and her last set on Conan here.

Shout outs: I May Destroy You on HBO, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Supernatural with Ashley Flowers, Corporate on Comedy Central

Just like the breezy rides that the series takes us through while Jerry Seinfeld and his guest hang out for the most successful version of comedians having coffee, we have coasted on to season 11 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (that’s 2 more than Seinfeld FYI).

Per usual, Jerry has stacked line-up of guests including Eddie Murphy, Melissa Villaseñor, and Martin Short and, as far as we can see, Jerry’s winning formula here will keep going as long as he wants.

See it for yourself in this season’s trailer here.

The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival returns as one of the biggest comedy touring festivals ever.

It’s interesting that they went with the bold red font for top billed acts and listed the line-up alphabetically instead of doing the traditional top-to-bottom-big-name-to-up-and-coming. It’s one way to be an oddball we suppose.

You can get your tickets here.

Dan Soder and Michelle Wolf playing broken people to just happen to sell used cars (maybe the two go hand-in-hand?) make for Comedy Central’s latest web series you should be watching, Used People.

The first three episodes are now up for you to watch on YouTube and also feature great supporting and featuring roles from Nick DiPaolo, Anthony Atamanuik, Bridget Everett, and Chris DiStefano.

After watching, perhaps you’ll feel a little more sympathy when going to a used car dealership (or maybe just feel even more wary?).

We’re not the betting types, but, if we were, we’d bet that this is probably the comedy special this year that will blindside you in the best way.

Boundary breaking singer and comedian Bridget Everett has her very first hour long comedy special premiering on Comedy Central this weekend.

Again, we urge you to watch Gynecological Wonder as soon as you can, which can be either on Sat. night at 12:30AM for the TV premiere or buying it on CC:Direct right now.

Austin’s Moontower Comedy Festival just announced their line-up for this year and it’s indeed, as we said above, pretty damn amazing. Do they have Christmas in April nowadays because having Patton Oswalt, TJ Miller, Emo Philips, Tim Minchin, Bridget Everett, John Mulaney, Hasan Minhaj, Byron Bowers, and Eddie Pepitone just to brush the surface is a wish list come true.

Moontower goes from Wed. Apr. 22nd- Sun. Apr. 25th and you can an special early bird discounted badge for $99 right now. You should be clicking over to get that deal right now, so you don’t miss out on this.

Comedy Central already has comedy specials from Kyle Kinane and Matt Braunger lined-up for 2015 making a pretty damn good start for them for their comedy specials.

Now, they’re adding on to that with a comedy special from an unstoppable force of musical comedy Bridget Everett.

Everett just taped “Gynecological Wonder”, which should blow the socks as well as many other items of clothing off anyone watching.

Hopefully, the special will come sooner to Comedy Central rather than later in 2015. We’ll let you know the premiere date as soon as we find out.
