Beginnings


We all know the stories of how creative people get into the business of creating for a living, but how did they start using their imaginations in the first place? On the Beginnings podcast, writer and performer Andy Beckerman asks well-known and up-and-coming comedians, musicians, writers and artists about their earliest creative acts and about other formative childhood experiences.

On today's show I talk to comedian Kevin Avery. Originally from San Francisco, Kevin currently lives in New York where he is a writer on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Previously, he was the head writer on Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell and wrote on Best Week Ever before that. Kevin's also a wonderful stand-up and podcaster - his first album is called Hardcore, and with Kamau, he hosts the Wolfpop podcast Denzel Washington is The Greatest Actor of All Time Period.
