Eric D'Alessandro Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson

Comedian Eric D'Alessandro joins me at Carolines on Broadway for a funny and serious talk. We get into:
Mispronouncing his name Driving on the Autobahn Anxiety and his diagnosis Therapy Mental illness in his family A hit and run accident How he made it in stand-up comedy Improv classes where he was totally out of place Odd jobs, like at Newark Airport Pounding the pavement Emailing Taylor Swift’s booking agent Doing open mics Comedy club gatekeepers Social media comedians Young comedians vs. old comedians Trying to get to the next level vs. being a dinosaur His creative process How he edits his videos How he tests his comedy material Dressing like a woman and how he feels about it Why people think he’s gay Who he really is beneath the façade Links:
