Josh Gondelman Writes For a Huge TV Show, Created a Giant Twitter Persona, Released His New Album on Digital and Cassette…and He’s the Nicest Guy in Comedy

I dare you to describe Josh Gondelman as a comedian or a person without using the word “delightful.” It can’t be done. Josh takes the kind of gentle approach to his set, even when dealing with darker or edgier material, that can keep you comfortable in the audience whether you’re on a first date or taking out with your grandma. He is also unfailingly positive and supportive towards his fellow comedians and a true joy to spend time with off stage.
