On the week of The Comedy Bureau's 14th Anniversary, we're so very glad to have our dear friend and fellow comedy behind-the-scenes compatriot Sam Varela (Naked Comedy) joining us in on getting to the nitty gritty of the state of comedy (as well as discussing what's going in Texas where Sam is taking some time away from being on the coasts). As always, it was a deep, insightful on where the winds are blowing these days in comedy between generations/classes/schisms/etc.

Also, yes, there's a Silverlake Ramen opening in El Paso.

Follow Sam and all of her shows @nakedcomedy

Luke Null is one of a handful of marvelous comedians that are leading the way forward with a guitar in a way that is very good (and not something to be looked down upon by every other corner of comedy). Null's innovation, daring, and sheer comedic verve have seen him rise into one of the best musical comedians we have today, which is perfect timing for the hour special he just shot. We chat with Null on this week's TCB Field Report about his chosen path and how he is blazing through it and how the stereotypical thinking towards guitar comedy and musical comedy might be changing these days.
