Josh Gondelman, the Good Boy of Comedy, is Somehow Just Fine. Gary Gulman is Baffled.

(takes a moment to secure tongue firmly in cheek)

It would be rude to make fun of Josh Gondelman just because he’s a little strange. Or not strange. Instead, we’re going to learn from Josh about his career, his life, and how, even though he’s very bad at dancing he does it anyway. Then our pal comedian Gary Gulman for a response to what we heard. Gary is arguably the king of depressed comedy, having taken off the issue in his special The Great Depresh.
