During a hilarious performance on Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, comedian Brodie Reed talks about growing up in the 90s, imagines a world where gangs sell shrooms, and shares his list of opinions.

Brodie Reed: Brodie Reed is a comedian, writer, and actor from Inglewood, California. He’s best known for his crowdfunded comedic short film about reparations called 16,000 Dollars. He had absolutely no idea how comedy worked. Outside of watching a lot of stand-up on TV, it was a mystery to him. Then he accidentally saw an improv show at UCB in 2011 and it lit his brain on fire. Brodie remembers thinking, People can just … do this?, quit my band, signed up for an improv class, realized how expensive it was, and started doing stand-up instead. He did so many mics and made so many friends; he felt really alive and became hooked.

Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring: Half-hour stand-up specials have been a staple of the Comedy Central brand since the 90s. Even though the name of the TV show changed a few times and the airings have shifted online. Regardless, they are still alive and going strong.
