Beginnings: Field Guide

Every other week on Beginnings: Field Guide, creators deconstruct their favorite projects - from conception to finished product - in order to explore the many different paths the creative process can take.




On today’s show, we talk to Ethan Berlin about IFC’s Bunk, the surreal gameshow he co-created with Eric Bryant. Hosted by Kurt Brauhohler (who was just named one of Variety’s comics to watch), playing a smarmy, high-status goof, Bunk takes the format of a typical game show and punches it in the spine, challengeing contestants like Thomas Lennon and Eugene Mirman to absurd games that yield nonsensical prizes. Bunk is a delight and one of the best shows that’s been on this summer!

Plus, don’t miss Beginnings: Live!: 8/14 at UCB East, 11:00pm w/ James Adomian (Comedy Bang! Bang!), Thu Tran (Food Party) & special musical guest Swearin’!
