Mindy's Comedy Archives

Joyelle enters the Comedy Archives in 2012 at the long since closed Red Star Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This was a show run by Annie Lederman. I love that we have Annie greeting Joyelle as she walks on stage and into the archives. Joyelle had two boxes of photos and we only got through one. Around the time of her taping, I began to realize that we just may not get through everything in one interview and that's perfectly fine. I've already seen her at a comedy show since we taped this interview. She headlined a show at the St. Nell's Reunion in Williamsport, PA. So we will have even more to discuss when she visits for a part two. Follow Joyelle. Watch her special on Peacock!
