We've taken a small break, but we are back! And this is an episode we recorded a few months ago with our friend Noah Brockett. Noah was studying in Tokyo for a semester and came to Tokyo Comedy Bar with a few gigs under his belt, but quickly threw himself into the scene! Also, Noah is legally blind and builds that effectively into his set!  This interview was recorded the day before he flew home to the USA! Check out his socials: Insta: @noah_brockett
