The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 230: Chris Laker & the Meaning Behind Toiling in Obscurity

20 years in comedy, done on both coasts with two well received late night sets and Chris Laker has come to an intriguing crossroads in his career where he is calling his latest hour “Toiling in Obscurity”. It’s not necessarily the self-deprecating angle that you might think the name would entirely suggest, but something much more, if you can believe it, affirming. We talk to Chris about his journey to letting go of expectations and focusing on evolving as a comedian and human being.
