When my cat died the first week of March, I thought to myself: “There’s no way this year could get any worse.”

I had just started rehearsing a play in Palm Springs, had another play in NY right after, standup comedy and corporate gigs booked through the summer and a few trips to Europe. All...

[joelbryant]

Still in rehearsals for this play...for now. And I encourage everybody to buy tickets at: https://ift.tt/38T2s2A It’s a poignant one-person interactive comedy about suicide and depression that may (or may not) open April 3. If it’s safe to open, you’re treated to a great show! If we have to cancel, at least you’ve made a donation to a small theatre and supported the arts. It’s a win-win!! Also, since these are crazy times, and in keeping with the theme of the play, if all of this unprecedented mess has got you down, don’t hesitate to reach out to a depression helpline like 800-784-2433. Or just give me a shout and we’ll nip that negativity shit in the bud! #staysafe #keepsmiling #itllbeok #everybrilliantthing #theatre #stage #supportthearts #fucoronavirus @dezartperforms #palmsprings https://ift.tt/3b1yI5p

People react to pandemics in different ways. Some panic and shut down everything, some hoard ridiculously, and some wear face masks and bathe in Purcell. Me? I book a flight and find joy in being able to have all the seats! See ya after the “pandemic” suckers!!!! #flynow #soempty #alltheseats https://ift.tt/333HgpG

Thank you to the US Embassy in Paris for letting me bring a 45-minute standup comedy show to those hallowed halls. Thanks for the tour, the military you have stationed there and the individually wrapped cheeses. It was awesome to bring laughs to all who attended from the State Dept., CLO, FBI, NSA, NASA, NHS, GSO and all sorts of other initials. Besides the show itself and the people I met, the best things about the gig was: 1 - Seeing your name and pic on a poster hanging all over the Embassy, and 2 - The very unique gift bag! Can’t wait to do it again and work with any of your other CLO teams around the world! @usembassyfrance #paris #france #usembassy #standupcomedy #comedian #goodtimes #comedylife #travel #ontheroad #surreallife #gijoel #cloparis #letsdoitagain #screwyoucoronaviruswewillstillhavefun https://ift.tt/38uRm3F

From inside a steam sauna, on the banks of Lake Geneva over-looking the Alps... I’m trying to distract from the bad-ass swimsuit I purchased at the train station. #switzerland #lausanne #sauna #lakegeneva #alps #travel #adventure #wanderlust #thejoelwideworld #wherenext #nadassswimsuit https://ift.tt/39xd20t

If I’ve been asked once, I’ve been asked a million times: “Joel, where do they grow shoes?” Well, I found it.

When you have a slow morning, get bored, call a cruise line, get a good deal on a last minute cruise and say....Aw, why the hell not...? #cruise #travel #adventure #wanderlust #thejoelwideworld #neededahotelroomfortheweekendanyway https://ift.tt/2HDIQo6

One more show (for me, at least) of “The $5 Shakespeare Company” today (Sun) at 2pm at Theatre 68 in NoHo. It’s been a joy playing with @the6thact and this damn talented cast, so come see this hilarious ensemble piece! (Or, if you’re a masochist, come see what I pull off stepping in for an injured actor, getting the script Sat morning and having no rehearsals...it’s been a challenging blast!) tix & Info The6thAct.com #theatre68 #noho #theatre #shakespeare #bottom #stage #lathtr #onstage #theshowmustgoon #Repost @lizadseneca with @get_repost ・・・ A huge thank you to the amazing @thejoelbryant for fearlessly stepping in for an injured cast member last night. He’s back with us tonight and we are so grateful that the show can go on! https://ift.tt/2SwNg6B
