About this episode
Eddie Brill discusses his journey in comedy and current trends in the industry.
Today, we get back to the funny stuff with a guy who is ‘serious’ about comedy. Meet Eddie Brill, a native New Yorker who came to Boston to attend Emerson College, getting his start in comedy there and never looking back. Eddie has toured all over the United States and throughout many parts of the world. He was previously the warm-up comic and comedy talent coordinator of The Late Show with David Letterman . He founded and was the creative director for the award-winning Great American Comedy Festival in Norfolk, Nebraska, honoring the late Johnny Carson who hailed from that town. Eddie and I talk about current trends in comedy, who his heroes in the business are and the comics who continue to “bring it” on stage today!
