Eugene Mirman Gets Personal

<p>Eugene Mirman is perhaps best known for voicing Gene Belcher on ‘Bob’s Burgers.’ But as his new documentary <a href="https://amzn.to/2RxrjDh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘It Started as a Joke’</a> proves, he is also one of the most innovative and influential stand-up comics of his generation. In this episode, we check in with Eugene via Zoom from his home on Cape Cod before sharing the longer interview we taped with him before the coronavirus pandemic forced us all indoors. He talks about starting the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival “as a joke,” learning to get more personal in his comedy and of course, ‘Bob’s Burgers.’</p><p><br></p><p>Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/pamelaadlon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://twitter.com/EugeneMirman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@EugeneMirman</a> and<a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @mattwilstein</a> | Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/pamelaadlon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eugenemirman/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@eugenemirman</a> and<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @lastlaughpod</a></p><p>Stream ‘It Started as a Joke’ on <a href="https://amzn.to/2RxrjDh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon Prime Video</a>.</p><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a>.</p><p>Go to <a href="https://ratethispodcast.com/laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ratethispodcast.com/laugh</a> to leave us a rating and review.</p> &#10;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color: grey; font - size: 0.75em; '>See <a style='color: grey; ' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
