When divisiveness is the order of the day, some of the best bridges are the most personal stories that highlight the things all humanity has in common (which is almost always more than we think) no matter who is telling said story or what its original intentions were for.

Follow Ethan @ethanstancomedy across socials and get tickets for Jew, Interrupted on 1/21 &amp; 1/28 in LA and 5/9 in Toronto <a href="https://www.jewinterrupted.com/">here</a>.

The popularity of the corner of comedy that is clown continues to burgeon, especially in LA. In that growth, there is a push for bringing clown to more than just niche audiences, namely children. One, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/r.m.aranda/">R.M. Aranda</a> is one such clown that aims to making a clown show that bucks the trend of the very adult ensemble and solo performances that have gotten so much notoriety and offer up something to be truly enjoyed by all (and they're succeeding so far). We talk all about their path to embracing clown and then wanting to spread its gospel and joy to as many as possible on this week's TCB Field Report.
