This latest episode of Thomas R. Wood’s great web series Outside Comedy trails Brooks Wheelan as he takes a day to hike along a picturesque piece of California coastline and snap as many photos as possible. Turns out that Wheelan loves photography, but likes to do as more of an outsider rather than getting to the specifics of F-stops, color temperature, etc.

As with every episode in this series, the hobbies and obsessions outside of comedy bring a sort of balance and perspective to each comedian and it’s pretty fascinating.

Open mics are an unavoidable part of being a comedian. They’re often brutal and, in fact, you shouldn’t think of them any other way, but they are also crucial to developing your voice as a comedian so when you do a big show, you don’t fuck it up (hopefully). 

Scott Moran’s amazing series Modern Comedian for PBS Digital follows up and coming comedian Subhah Agarwal who grinds it out at open mics in NYC as much as humanly possible and exhibits how hard work and focus can be quite rewarding in comedy. Watch the episode here.
