Mike Binder is literally decades of funny and comedy history packed into one person. He’s written, directed, and acted in hits like Reign Over Me with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle and the Upside of Anger with Kevin Costner and Joan Allen, not to mention The Contender, Black Or White, as well as producing and directing stand-up specials for Bill Burr (Paper Tiger) and his new upcoming special!
We talk the comedy store documentary on Showtime he did both before and during the pandemic, his new love for the Comedy Store and this brand new wave of comedians coming through, his early days as a stand-up, the comedians he hung out with, his trajectory into filmmaking, and the death of his best friend, comedy legend Bob Saget, and the memorial he held at the Comedy Store and his new website www.Standupworld.com - Enjoy!
