Answer 1

I'm not sure what the rest of your code looks like, but you are mixing up your $query variable and you are not sending your $query to the new instance of WP_Query. Also, there is no need to send an array to the "terms" parameter if you are only using one term. Try this.

<?php
// Set the args
$args = array(
    'tax_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
        array (
            'taxonomy' => 'location',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'california',
        ),
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'genre',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'comedy',
        )
    )
);

// Make a new instance of WP_Query
$query = new WP_Query();

// Make the query
$query->query($args);

// Test for posts
if($query->have_posts())
{
    // Loop through posts
    while($query->have_posts())
    {
        // Set up the post
        $query->the_post();
        global $post;
    }
}
?>

Well first of all you are using it wrong.

$query = new WP_Query(array(
     'post_type' => 'post,'
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'tax_query' => array(
        'taxonomy' => 'genre',
        'field' => 'slug',
        'terms' => array( 'comedy', '' ),
    )
));

The array needs to be supplied to the WP_Query object. Also, I am pretty sure atleast one post type needs to be specified for it to work.

<?php
// Set the args
$args = array(
    'tax_query' => array(
        'post_type' => 'show',
        'relation' => 'AND',
        array (
            'taxonomy' => 'location',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'california',
        ),
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'genre',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'comedy',
        )
    )
);




 // Make a new instance of WP_Query
$query = new WP_Query($args);

// Make the query
$query->query('showposts=5');

// Test for posts
if($query->have_posts())
{
    // Loop through posts
    while($query->have_posts()) 
    {
    echo '<div>';
  the_title();
    echo '</div>';

        // Set up the post
       $query->the_post();


        global $post;


    }
}



?>

But the problem is it shows the posts also from posts

Result: is something like California (Comedy) Posts Then the rest posts from the POSTS TYPE Post1 Post 2
