Mindy's Comedy Archives

Emmy Blotnick enters the archives on December 1, 2011 outside the long since closed Luca Lounge. We sorted through about half her photos and didn't get to more recent days, but we did get to the "Party Nights" cover. And we skipped ahead to chat about her current special, "What's Her Secret".  Emmy will be back for an episode two... our chat was pretty fast-paced but we still only got through one box of photos! In the meantime, follow her on Instagram... as you'll see in the ep, she is on there now... as we all... apparently... have to be... forever.
