The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 41: Luisa Diez & Reimagining Comedy (When COVID’s Over)

January 6, 2021
News, The Comedy Bureau Field Report
chris rock, la comedy, nyc comedy, richard pryor

It’s the first ep. 0f 2021 and the future of comedy is still very, very much up in the air. Not only is the pandemic set to probably keep live comedy a precarious endeavor through a good portion of 2021, but what will be left on the other side of the pandemic in regards to talent, venues, etc. is, as with all things at this time, uncertain.

To parse through all of that (and maybe even solve all of comedy’s problems) at the top of this year/just another week is venerable NYC indie comedy producer/arts & media consultant/co-host of Why You Mad? Luisa Díez. Luisa zooms with TCB’s Jake Kroeger to analyze how comedy changed in 2020, comedian migratory patterns, and even how comedians can dish it, but often can’t take it. Also, “hot” takes on re-releases of Chris Rock and Richard Pryor and tv/film production having to halt due to COVID-19.

Follow Luisa @luisadieznuts on Twitter and get into her podcast that she co-hosts with Jake Flores, Why You Mad?

Pick of the Day: A Christi-mas Spectacular! with Christi Chiello 12/17

December 1, 2020

As Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and a time of giving, what better way to celebrate it than with the amazing Christi Chiello who loves Jesus (it’s in her Twitter bio next to loving pizza and “UR MAN”) and supporting of one of NYC’s best venues, Littlefield and COVID-19 relief?

That’s what Christi-mas Spectacular will be on Thurs. Dec. 17th at 5PM PT/8PM ET. The evening of virtual comedy will definitely be a welcome alternative to celebrating the holiday season if you’re not into hearing Christmas standards playing everywhere and just looking at Christmas lights.

Christi’s Christi-mas Spectacular! will feature a holiday gift box collection of NYC’s favorites including Chris Gethard, Jo Firestone, Matteo Lane, Brittany Carney, and other special guests.

Tickets are given by donation and you can and should give then get your tickets here.

The Squirrel Comedy Theatre Virtually Launched by UCB Alums in NYC (with Hopes for Brick & Mortar Venue)

November 30, 2020
News
nyc comedy, squirrel comedy theatre
There have been plenty of closures of comedy venues across the country due to the pandemic enduring in America and, unfortunately, we won’t be surprised to see more to come. The Upright Citizens Brigade’s NYC venues, a cornerstone of the NYC comedy scene, had to close their doors permanently earlier this year for that reason.
Though, as of today, it would seem not all hope is lost. UCB alums, specifically comprised of queer and/or POC performers, have banded together to reimagine a new sketch and improv comedy destination for NYC in the newly minted, non-profit Squirrel Comedy Theatre. Similar to comedy theater/schools across the country, they’ll be offering classes in addition to putting on shows, which will be, for the time being, done virtually. Founders Lou Gonzalez (Teenage Bounty Hunters, The Other Two), Michael Hartney (former UCB NY Artistic Director, School of Rock), Patrick Keene (UCB Touring Company), Maritza Montañez (Disney+, MTV News), Alex Song-Xia (The Tonight Show, High Maintenance), and Corin Wells (Characters Welcome, Adult Swim) do want to set themselves apart for being inclusive and representative of the expansive diversity NYC is known for.
There is no physical space yet, but that’s the goal whenever that can be safely done (hopefully, sometime in 2021). You can support their quest for said space via donations accepted on their website.
For now, The Squirrel Comedy Theatre will be doing shows with great improv and sketch folks from both NYC and LA on Wednesdays & Thursdays, streaming on their respective YouTube & Twitch channels. You can keep up with their schedule/line-ups on their website here.
FYI, the founders even have their own improv group, Borabish.
It’s a daring time to open a comedy theater as so many are in danger of shutting down, but kudos to Squirrel for pushing to keep comedy alive not only for NYC, but for the art form at large.

Dave Chappelle Will Be Doing Another Residency at Radio City Music Hall Featuring The Roots, Chris Rock, Trevor Noah, Ali Wong, Erykah Badu, and Childish Gambino

In 2014, Dave Chappelle did a whole run of shows at the legendary Radio City Music Hall featuring guests like The Roots. 

That seemed to go pretty well. 

So, Dave is doing it again this August with plenty of the aforementioned big name guests. Tickets for this residency will go on sale this Friday.

See Wonderful NYC Comedy Over the Past Year Through the Lens of Mindy Tucker

Just like there are a handful of comedians that are on the tip of everyone’s tongue, there are a handful of photographers around the country that capture those comedians and more wherever they can. 

Mindy Tucker is one such photographer for the NYC comedy scene and you can see her work in a wonderfully put together stream at the link featuring way too many hilarious people for us to list here (so just go look at it already).
