‘It Started as a Joke:’ Laughter and tears at beloved Brooklyn comedy fest

Arts festivals can be truly life-changing. They can also be ripe for mockery, which is what happened to comedian Eugene Mirman and his friends back in 2008. Their good-natured satire, the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, surprised them by becoming the real deal, selling out shows and running for a decade. “It Started as a Joke,” a documentary set in the last year of the fest, looks at how it became a beacon for talent, and a place of catharsis for personal tragedy. Jim Gaffigan, Janeane Garofalo, Kumail Nanjiani, John Hodgman, Ira Glass, Mike Birbiglia, Jon Glaser, Kristen Schaal, Bobcat Goldthwait, Michael Showalter, Michael Che and Bridget Everett are among the many names who played the festival, which had its final event in 2018.

How Comedians Are Adapting to Entertain Fans While Self-Isolating

On March 11,comedian Jim Gaffigan was in Bogotá, Colombia, in the midst of his worldwide Pale Tourist tour when he received a call from his manager that Argentina was closing its borders in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and his upcoming show there was canceled. He had a choice: fly to São Paulo, Brazil, for his next appearance or go straight back to the United States in case borders started closing. He opted to go home to New York City, mainly because leaving his wife alone with their five kids “would be cruel,” he jokes. He performed his show that night and flew out the next day; hours later borders around the world began closing while edicts were issued for schools and businesses to shut down.
