  Episode #11

  Episode 11 - Josh Gondelman (293 Photos)

  Aug 17, 20261h 30m

  Josh Gondelman enters the archives on stage performing as Dave Attell at Schtick or Treat on November 1, 2011 at Bowery Poetry Club. His first photo as himself is a few weeks later at Sidewalk Café for his show Afterlife with co-hosts Erin Judge, Emily Heller, and George Gordon. Josh appears in the archives fresh off a move from Boston. We hear advice he was given, some great, some stale, about when to make the NYC leap. We talk day jobs, small writing jobs, and photo shoots at my apartment when no one could afford studio time. We get through box one of his archives and end at 50 First Jokes in 2015 with Josh firmly in place in the stand up scene and a writing job. His future wife, Maris, has entered the archives as well. More on this in future archive digging, but for now, you can enjoy a recent special of Josh's here . Want to join the Fun??

  Episode 10 - Andrea Allan (167 Photos)

  Aug 10, 202651 min

  Andrea Allan enters the archives on April 16, 2014 at The Village Underground in New York. We sort through photos from The Creek, my studio in Brooklyn, a Keith and the Girl podcast marathon. But maybe we're never gonna top this one photo from 2016 at The Village Underground. And that's... ok. I also go OFF on a tangent about how the algorithm tricked people into thinking I moved outta the city during the panini, but actually, I was here and working on the archives... the very admin drudgery that would make this podcast possible. But I'm not hurt or annoyed by the misunderstanding anymore, as you can see by my tangent. Want to join the Fun??

  Episode #9

  Episode 9 - Adam Conover (61 Photos)

  Aug 3, 20261 hour

  Adam enters the archives on January 6, 2011 performing on Lasers in the Jungle at Luca Lounge. You know Adam from his show on TruTV and his podcast " Factually ". I found his insights during the strikes helpful and he has a clear eyed view of comedy at the moment. It's been fun to see the different ways people have entered the archives. Some are in the background, some have been comedians for a decade before I get there, and some are just starting out. Adam enters early in his stand up career on a night that's a smidge of an art opening; when we installed a backdrop I made for the show. Want to join the Fun??

  Episode 8 - Emmy Blotnick (223 Photos)

  Jul 27, 20261h 8m

  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. Want to join the Fun??
