30. Alex Dobrenko

Alex Dobrenko is a writer, comedian, and actor. He writes humorous and vulnerable personal essays on his hugely popular Substack, Both Are True. Alex writes about his life as a new father and being a sorta hopeful Millennial in a dying empire. His work is hilarious, but it’s also shot through with real grace and vulnerability. He’s like a millennial David Sedaris, or Larry David. Gabe talks to Alex about how he uses techniques from improv, stand-up comedy, and acting to write his beloved Substack.
