Joel enters the Comedy Archives on January 14, 2012 at The Creek and The Cave in Long Island City. Joel's last photo before our interview for the podcast was in 2016, with an open door exiting the venue, and unknown to us, the archives for quite a while. Shortly after this, Joel gets sober, starts a basketball tournament, and becomes an author. He has a new book coming out on July 14, 2026. Just because you do comedy for a while doesn't mean you must always and forever do comedy. It was a joy to hear how Joel took some great things from comedy forward and left some others behind.
