Comedian Josh Gondelman is hilarious, but not disgusting

JL;DR SUMMARY Josh Gondelman, a comedian known for his earnest and non-disgusting humor, has released a new comedy special, "Positive Reinforcement," on YouTube. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

Arlington, Massachusetts, United States
"As Gondelman finished up his double-degree in English and creative writing at Brandeis and worked as a preschool teacher in Arlington, Mass., he began to develop the ear-to-the-ground nature for examining my own life that allowed him to X-ray the everyday and find the comedic skeleton underneath."
