This is yet another episode springing from the 2018 Women In Comedy Festival here in Boston. It had been a very long time since I\u2019d gotten the chance to catch up with Julie Goldman<\/a>, so long that neither of us could quite remember exactly when we\u2019d first met or talked. I interviewed her for the Boston Globe to preview the festival, and the conversation went so many different directions, I wanted to follow up and make sure I got her on the podcast. <\/p>\n

I saw a lot of great sets at the festival, but Goldman\u2019s might have been the best. She absolutely destroyed the room at the NBC showcase show, so much that I was worried for the people who had to follow her. It\u2019s curious, given her ability to destroy a room, that she says she has trouble getting booked in clubs and on festivals. Unless it\u2019s an LGBTQIAA-related event. If it was just about what you do in the room, Goldman would get booked anywhere. We get into that a bit early on. The bottom line is, she’s got the skill to play anywhere. \u201cIf you\u2019re funny, they\u2019ll be with you no matter what,” she says. <\/p>\n

Goldman has a podcast called Dumb Gay Politics<\/a> with her co-host Brandy Howard, and I caught her a few days before she had former White House Director of Communications Anthony Scaramucci on the show. She tells the story of how they met and how he came to be on the show. And you can check out that episode, “The Mooch Is A Menche”, by clicking here<\/a>. You will also learn in this episode how Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner are humanity\u2019s last, best hope, and Goldman and I both urge you to check out Brooks\u2019s vastly underrated film History of the World Part I. <\/p>\n
