Ep. 57: Ethan Berlin
Wrestling Team
Beginnings

Where do creative people come from? On Beginnings, two fledgling comedians talk origins with professional creators and others just starting out, and hopefully answer their parents’ question, “What are you doing?”




On today’s episode we talk to Ethan Berlin. Ethan is a writer and performer based in New York City. Starting on the show Crank Yankers in the early 2000s, he’s since written for Sasha Baron Cohen on Da Ali G Show, Lopez Tonight and Billy on the Street among many other shows. Currently he is the co-creator and executive producer of the absurd game show Bunk on the Independent Film Channel. A few weeks ago, Ethan came over to the Manhattan Wrestling Team apartment and talked to us about what it’s like writing for other people and his love of early David Letterman and real-world comedy bits. Plus we debut two - Count ‘em! TWO! - new segments!

Plus! Come to Beginnings: Live on 8/14 at 8pm with James Adomian, musical guest Swearin’ and more!
