Writing jokes for Jay Leno’s ‘Tonite Show’ monologues and comedy legends Robin Williams and Joan Rivers. The son of an MIT professor, his tongue in cheek description of what he does:
(Brody) “I am a purveyor of fine words and phrases who takes humor very very seriously.”
The late George Carlin called him with words of encouragement when he was just starting out:
(Brody) “I called Letterman, I talked to a woman who books me there…I told them that they should take you seriously, that you’re a very funny political comic.”
‘Dylan Brody’s Driving Hollywood’ premieres on Next Up Comedy February 14th. The one man show heading to the stage in Chicago and New York City this Spring.
