Shana: Trans Rainbow Pages: From Gabriel Reséndez there is so much panic from trans youth and adults in America as anti-trans legislation continues to attack our community. This is his response, a discord server that seeks to serve as a directory (“yellow pages”) of all trans resources available sorted by state and nationwide. Follow at @transrainbowpages

If you have skinny arms, does that mean you can't cook? Langston and David gather around the table with Skye Townsend (HBO's A Black Lady Sketch Show) and talk about this popular meme conspiracy theory. They question cooking skills, Skye's taste in men in the Greater New York area, and what thick arms really indicate. Also, David asks listeners to bring a plate to his green room, and make sure it has tinfoil on top.

On probably what would be the most metaphysical episode of The Comedy Bureau Field Report, writer/comedian Teresa Lee joins Jake Kroeger to not only examine the nature of reality/singularity/solo shows, but go through her journey in lockdown and how she did so much virtual stand-up (leading up to an entire virtual album) and was recruited for OnlyFans and how she is looking forward to flipping the script on the voyeuristic platform.

Also, "hot" takes on A Black Lady Sketch Show getting renewed, Colbert returning to Ed Sullivan Theater with a full audience, and a KFI host getting suspended for racist Asian sketch.

Without really knowing that it was coming, we've been at The Comedy Bureau Field report, officially, for a year now (quarantine has a funny way of messing with our perception of time). On our anniversary(?), we're thrilled to have the great Danny Jolles with us to not only celebrate the release of his fabulous first hour special, Six Parts, but also recount his very long, delay-filled journey through the last year leading up to this point. Danny persevered despite, like so many folks in comedy, having their entire identities stripped of them (as well as so many life-changing career prospects). Also, "hot" takes on WGA Award winners, A Black Lady Sketch Show returning next month, and Russell Peters calling his upcoming podcast Culturally Cancelled. Oh, and there's a big shout out to the one of the best choreographers in the biz, Kat Burns.

Follow Danny @dannyjolles on Twitter and IG and please watch/enjoy/share his hour special Six Parts, now streaming on YouTube.
