New York Minutes

Chris Martin interviews stand-up comedian John Reaves. John regales us with tales of his recent comedy recon to NYC where he attended UCB shows and open mics. John is a regular on the Virginia stand-up comedy circuit. He and Omari Brown make up the Funny or Die sketch comedy duo, The Undergrads. He’s also making a web series, “Strange Bedfellows,” with Johnny Hugel and David Marie-Garland. He and David also smell like zine spirit. The well-known meta-baiter and bon vivant radiates the eternal sunshine of his filthy mind on Twitter at @John_Reaves. To give you an idea of how perverse he is: I asked for a DVD of the documentary , “I Am Comic” and he gave me an MP4 file. I asked him for MP4s of several videos of my stand-up that he shot and he gave me a DVD. We also discuss how Chris Martin once nearly got him dragged from his car and beaten to death. Well, that’s what he said. John has a girlfriend named Sarah.
