Ep. 180: Beth Lapides & Conversation Sanctity

For an independent comedy show of any kind to last a year is a feat in such a city as Los Angeles. UnCabaret, created by Beth Lapides, has lasted for around 30 years and is very much continuing to foster a special community with its sort-of-light-bulb-moment-focused storytelling/stand-up show. It's an undeniable institution in comedy and foundational to alternative comedy as we know and love it. This week's TCB Field Report talks to Lapides and the history of her beautiful gathering that she has created and what goes into keeping conversation, especially the sort that's had between performer and audience, sacred.
