Josh Gondelman enters the archives on stage performing as Dave Attell at Schtick or Treat on November 1, 2011 at Bowery Poetry Club. His first photo as himself is a few weeks later at Sidewalk Café for his show Afterlife. Pictured below with co-hosts Erin Judge, Emily Heller, and George Gordon.

Josh appears in the archives fresh off a move from Boston. We hear advice he was given, some great, some stale, about when to make the NYC leap. We talk day jobs, small writing jobs, and photo shoots at my apartment when no one could afford studio time. We get through box one of his archives and end at 50 First Jokes in 2015 with Josh firmly in place in the stand up scene and a writing job. His future wife, Maris, has entered the archives as well.

More on this in future archive digging, but for now, you can enjoy a recent special of Josh's here.
