This is true. As a touring headliner, Eugene has performed on stages around the world and at festivals including Edinburgh Fringe, Sasquatch, Bonnaroo, SXSW, SF Sketchfest, JFL, and many more.Along with Julie Smith Clem, Eugene co-founded the comedy production company <a href="https://prettygoodfriends.com/" title="https://prettygoodfriends.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pretty Good Friends</a> which began as a weekly comedy show in Brooklyn and grew into tours, large outdoor shows, TV and radio projects and a comedy record label<a href="http://prettygoodfriends.com/records" title="http://prettygoodfriends.com/records" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> PGF Records</a>. Out of these shows, Mirman and Clem also created the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival which started as a joke and became an annual institution in Brooklyn for 10 years. The festival also spawned the documentary film <a href="https://prettygoodfriends.com/it-started-as-a-joke" title="https://prettygoodfriends.com/it-started-as-a-joke" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">"It Started As A Joke"</a> which chronicles the decade-long run of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, including a final farewell show. The film celebrates Eugene’s unique brand of humor and his role in the alternative comedy movement, offers a bittersweet goodbye to an era, and reminds us of the healing properties of comedy – even in the most challenging of life’s circumstances. The film includes interviews Michael Ian Black, Kristen Schaal, Wyatt Cenac, Ira Glass, John Hodgman, Kumail Nanjiani, Reggie Watts and Michael Showalter, along with performances by Janeane Garofalo, Jim Gaffigan, Jon Glaser, Mike Birbiglia, Bobcat Goldthwait, Michael Che and more. Hailed as "funny and elegiac" (The New York Times) and "a hidden history of alternative comedy” (The Moveable Fest), the film is available on most streaming platforms. About Tooky Kavanagh: With razor-sharp wit and a charm once described as “ineffable,” Tooky (rhymes with cookie) Kavanagh speaks her mind with honesty, charisma, and edge. After just a few years on the scene, Tooky has performed coast-to-coast, headlined shows across New England, performed at Boston’s historic Wilbur Theater, and regularly opens for nationally touring acts.She can be seen at such Boston-based institutions as Laugh Boston, Nick’s Comedy Stop and ImprovBoston. Also, she’s the one who described her own charm as “ineffable,” but it’s still true!
