The Comedy Bureau

Deep in the depths of the University of Niche Interests lies The Comedy Bureau – a long forgotten department dedicated to studying the ins, outs, whys and wherefores of all things comedy. Staffed by Laura Lexx (Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Roast Battle) and Olly Double (Getting the Joke: The Inner Workings of Stand-Up Comedy) The Comedy Bureau helps comedy lovers around the world uncover answers to the art form’s biggest questions. What is laughter? Who was the first stand up comedian? and Why do we laugh at others? Find out now by listening here, watching along on YouTube: @The.Comedy.Bureau and following the show on Instagram and TikTok: @the.comedy.bureau

This podcast may use dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Captivate to help The Comedy Bureau to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Captivate is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Dynamic content insertion: Captivate may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. The Comedy Bureau may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

The Comedy Bureau is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
