Weekly giggles. Bad humor. Straight to your inbox.
I'm Lela Bubu. I do stand up comedy and every Monday I send one small email: dumb punchlines, sarcasm my mom takes literally, and one (1) guinea pig fact I may or may not have fact-checked.

Hi, I'm Lela.
I'm an expert comedian because life is binary — 0s and 1s, tragedy or comedy. I pick comedy most days.
Most of it comes from the small, deeply ridiculous parts of life: open concept toilets I saw once and cannot stop telling strangers about, wisdom from an 88 year old church lady, my kids answering questions they should not be trusted with, and giving ridiculous solutions to real problems.
Every Monday the jokes go out, along with one guinea pig fact. Some facts are true, some are ridiculously not true. It's an alternate facts world out there — do your own research.
The comedy premise
- Loud, then wrong
Confident delivery of an idea that collapses halfway through. On purpose. Usually.
- Big stakes only
Hot and big takes, juicy stakes, maybe politics, tiny personal humiliations, life advice, tips and tricks and some demotivation
- Rodent adjacent
There will be guinea pigs. I've stopped fighting it and so should you.
"She was… enthusiastic." — one (1) audience member
Rave review
“I've known Lela Bubu forever — First she laughed at the jokes she said. Then her jokes used to be pretty dry. Now they are finally starting to get better.”
— A blood relative, allegedly
Another rave review
"OMG - giggles - ha ha ha - belly laughs - you are so funny"
— Another eldest daughter sufferer and productive collaborator
Conditional approval
"ok - I will allow you to do comedy - but can you keep it clean and not vulgar?"
— My mom
What you get.

One every Monday morning. Read it with coffee, or read it on the loo.
1 joke minimum
Sometimes 4 if I'm caffeinated. Sometimes 0 if I am too busy.

Guinea pigs never get anxious or depressed. They just live in the moment.
Catch me live.
Tiny rooms. Tinier crowds. My mom in the front row saying "ok."
