Mindy's Comedy Archives

Not every dream job is YOUR dream job. Brooks enters the archives in 2014, when he's at a coveted job in comedy. He didn't love it. We get into it in this episode. Brooks did stand up all around NYC while he was here. Most of his photos in the archives are from his coupla years as a New Yorker. Episode contains Whiplash, Night Train, and SXSW lore. Brooks has long since left NYC, filmed a comedy special in Alaska, joined a Spider League, and in general, been happy. You can see him monthly at The Beacon Theater in New York.
