The Field Negro Guide to Arts and Culture w/ W. Kamau Bell and Vernon Reid - Episode 15 - Baron Vaughn
We’re already back with another episode —— though it is Vernon free. This time for an interview with Friend of the Show Baron Vaughn. In addition to being an incredibly funny comedian, Baron also appears weekly on USA’s Fairly Legal (which was recently renewed for its second season). He and Kamau discuss his career and comedy and theatre and sociology and hats and all the fascinating, hilarious things that comics discuss when you put them in the same room.
[I’m really digging this podcast. The interwoven audio sources, and polish really stand out. I also love the mistaken identity discussion in this episode as it has plagued me from comedy day one.]

[I love this guy. He has a large repertoire and a very theatrical range. I was bummed he didn’t get to talk much in “Black Dynamite” but I can’t wait for what he does in “Thugs: The Musical”. I look forward when I can watch him live, until then I’ll just watch my favorite clip of his (positioned above)].
The oft talked about article about the oft talked about show and showman. Marc, who previously lived in San Francisco, is about to hit the Cobb’s Comedy Club stage for a sold out live recording of his ballooning podcast: WTF. Guests include Bobcat Goldthwait, Will Franken, Maria Bamford and Baron Vaughan. These are the grand times that we are living in…
With SF Sketchfest right around the bend, let’s take time to observe one of the more intimate and long-running programs in the line-up: The Sketchfest Dozen. Basically the shows are stand up showcases of two (out of 12) performers whom are extremely talented and overwhelmingly promising. Alongside the Dozen are some of San Francisco’s luminary comedians providing hosting support. All in all, the shows serve to highlight the some of the best soon to breakthrough comedic artists.

Hey Guys. Anybody who knows me, knows I’m a fan of Broadway musicals. Wicked, Beauty and the Beast, Rent, Hello Dolly! I have never seen these shows. I just know a few choice songs. I’m too broke to be in a theater. Still, I’m a fan of the arts and one project that is capturing my attention is Thugs: The Musical. This project is under the helm of Sir Kevin Avery, who is celebrating a birthday today. I implore you, please contribute to Thugs: the Musical, I’m pretty sure getting to achieve dreams is a good birthday present. And if you don’t do it for Kevin, do it for Johnny.
