  Ep. 298: Alaina Bamfield & Doing a Trauma Special (That's Packed with Jokes)

  Aug 13, 20261h 20m

  While the idea of comedy as a salve for trauma is nothing new, Alaina Bamfield makes her own mark on today's ever growing, crowded field of comedy by doing an entire half hour stand-up comedy special about life as a survivor of infamous serial child molester Larry Nassar. Called Untouchable , Alaina took her time honing it, making sure that the material was undeniably funny, and very much wanted to have humor be part of her journey forward from the horrific experience (she had to make her victim impact statement less roast-y). We follow how all of this came to be with a terrific new special on this week's TCB Field Report. Follow Alaina @ alianabamfield on IG and watch Untouchable now on YouTube here . Produced by Jake Kroeger Music by Brian Granillo Artwork by Andrew Delman and Jake Kroeger Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  Jul 30, 20261h 16m

Thusly, Houlihan is reviving one of the debate shows ever, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn . We get into every nook & cranny of Mary's grand plan of doing Rough Crowd on this week's TCB Field Report.
