Brian and Allison welcome Laugh For Sight alum, Comedian Eddie Brill to the Virtual That Real Blind Tech Show Studio.
We discuss how Eddie got started in stand-up comedy, who his early influences were, and what it was like meeting Richard Pryor for the first time.
We discuss the beginning of the Corona Virus Pandemic and the shutting down of comedy clubs. We then dive in to how Eddie ended up as the Warm-Up Comic at The Late Show for David Letterman and Comedy Talent Coordinator. He then tells us about some of his favorite guests over the years at The Late Show with David Letterman.
Eddie then shares with us what he loves about being on stage in front of an audience.
We then discuss Laugh For Sight, as Eddie was the Host at the Inaugural Laugh For Sight NYC, and has also performed at multiple Laugh For Sight benefits.
Eddie lets us know what it feels like right before the curtain goes up and you make your first Letterman Show appearance.
Eddie then tells us about his wildly popular weekly Sunday evening interview series Only Joking on Clubhouse. And what it feels like to be getting back in front of live human audiences.
We close with Eddie’s advice for people who may be looking to start out in comedy.
