Intrepid indie comedy producers, Sam Varela, returns to TCB Field Report to talk the state of comedy with TCB's Jake Kroeger at this juncture of (still) early 2024. Varela produces shows in both LA and NYC (including the amazing Picture This) as well as live-streams that are genuinely worth watching and definitely is one of the perfect people to weigh in on where the art form/community/scenes of comedy are right now and where they're headed going forward.

As 2022 approaches, there's a lot on the horizon, despite everything in live performance going dark for a few weeks at least, if not several. Thankfully, Sam Varela, one of the best people in comedy, joins again to not only break down the situation that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has brought to comedy, but highlight the ongoing importance of her virtual stand-up show, Self-Care Comedy, that has been going weekly for almost a year and still has strong regular audience as well as that there is no going back to any sort of element of 2019 ever again. For whatever we have to look forward to in 2022 with the pandemic still well in place, Sam and TCB's Jake Kroeger attempt to see what's ahead (and talk a lot about Adam McKay's brilliant Don't Look Up in the process). Also, hot takes on the boycott of Licorice Pizza, Joe Rogan postponing a 4/20 show because he doesn't want to obey any vaccine mandates, and more (including world politics and astrophysics even though this is a comedy podcast). Follow Sam @naked_comedy on Twitter & @nakedcomedy on IG and please get tickets to Ever's The Tops! top surgery fundraiser on 1/7 @ The Elysian. Stay tuned to Self-Care Comedy every Tuesday at 7PM PT/10PM ET here.
