Summary
Eric André discusses the paradox of his career — building a brand on chaotic, raunchy humor while requiring significant craft and discipline behind the scenes. He talks about his admiration for Jackie Chan, his new Netflix comedy 'Little Brother,' mob-run stand-up venues, and his side project of writing film scores for films that don't exist. The interview comes from the 'Comedy Means Business' podcast.
