Hi Scott, Maybe it’s just me, but for me, any time you have Paul F Tompkins on (as himself or in any incarnation) an episode it’s an instant classic. I also love hearing everyone improv their way through Would You Rather and hope it makes a return soon. The recent episodes have been fantastic for sure, but they’ve been mostly devoid of the games.

Here’s my questions: 1) is there anywhere we can find audio and/or video of your stand-up? 2) any chance we’ll get another Kroll/Mulaney or Mantzoukas/Andy Daly episode soon-ish? Those are two of the best pairings. Always hilarious.

Love your tv show, podcast, and everything you’ve done for the LA comedy scene. Thanks!

PS Phish sucks!

Hi Amy,

You’re an inspiration to me because I also went to Towson University and now I perform stand up. Not that I’m even ready for one yet, but I don’t get how “big breaks” work really and would like to hear about what happened with yours. I assume it was probably Last Comic Standing, but what happened after that, exactly? Were you aggressively doing stand-up and getting approached with offers? Did you have an agent or someone who was pitching you to places like Comedy Central for a half-hour Presents and roast appearances? Or were you trying to get in front of those places yourself and trying to network with comics who were, at the time, better known and more advanced in their careers? All of the above?

When did you decide you could, financially, afford to do stand-up full time? Did the decision seem like a frightening risk, or an amazing relief?

Thanks!
