Mindy's Comedy Archives

Alison first walks by the archives at Whiplash in 2011 and I photograph her for real in 2013! Call it the comedy pipeline, infrastructure, ladder... whatever it was, it changed significantly from 2011 to today. We get into it in this interview. Alison also wrote about the aftermath of her show, "Oh God, A Show About Abortion". I think it's one of the best documents of this time we're in. She has a book out THIS WEEK. Book release show at the Bell House on July 7. You can hear more of her on the Ruined podcast.

What is Mindy's Comedy Archives?

MINDY'S COMEDY ARCHIVES is a visual podcast featuring intimate interviews with the people who have been an instrumental part of the New York comedy community for the past 20 years. In each episode, our guest flips through a chronological stack of photos (starting with their very first "Mindy") using each image to unlock specific memories about their evolution in comedy. We'll touch on memories of early struggles and day jobs, to breakthroughs, friendships, and career shifts in an ever-changing industry.
