Episode 22 - Dylan Adler (81 Photos)
Dylan Adler enters the archives on December 17, 2019 at The Sultan Room on the show Good God. The next time I see him, shows have moved outside. Everyone's in a mask. No one knows when that'll be over. We talk navigating career momentum during the pandemic, a Quibi pilot, balancing performance in person vs. online. I give a lecture about email.

Episode 21 - Ed Larson (336 Photos)
Ed Larson enters the archives on April 19, 2010 with Henry Zebrowski. This episode covers the Murderfist move from Florida to New York, his time as a cook, a brief stint as a proper office employee (hated it!), the start of Round Table of Gentlemen, and many Murderfist shows. We got through two boxes of photos, covering up to the Fall of 2015. Currently, you can see Ed on Last Podcast on the Left on Netflix and on a few remaining dates of the Side Stories tour. Episode highlights include A Murderfist set getting interrupted by Kevin and Jermaine. Murderfist gets a portrait on their stoop. I censor images because I’m afraid the photo printer won’t understand Murderfist humor.Want to join the Fun??

Episode 20 - Henry Zebrowski (335 Photos)
Henry Zebrowski enters the archives with Murderfist at Whiplash at UCB Theater on April 19, 2010. Soon, he and his sketch group, Murderfist, team up with a Texan, Marcus Parks, and start recording podcasts. While industry tells him nothing will ever come from the podcast thing, he's also out performing on character showcases and stand up shows. You may already know the rest of Henry's story. Maybe you were a fan his Adult Swim show Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell. Maybe you love him on Last Podcast on the Left. Images from those projects do appear directly or tangentially in the archives, but we didn't get to them in this episode. We got caught up in the sheer... shock? Of seeing these early images. This does mean we get to do another episode. Thank god.Want to join the Fun?? Support us here:https://mindys-comedy-archives.ghost.io/Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Episode 15 - Jo Firestone (495 Photos)
Jo Firestone enters the archives on August 24, 2014 at Shea Stadium (not that one, the artsy one in Bushwick.) at the The Macaulay Culkin Show. Once Jo enters the archives, we see her... A LOT! She's on Whiplash, Big Terrific, 50 First Jokes all in a row. The archives have a least 2 instances of Jo working leading the audience in "I Have Been There". Jo was SO busy in 2014 and 2015 that... we didn't even make it to 2016 in this episode. A perfect excuse to have her back for another episode.Want to join the Fun??
