Questioning his faith, reeling from a divorce and struggling to find a home in New York's fiercely competitive stand-up scene — that's where Pete Holmes found himself in his early twenties, and it's the story he tells in his loosely autobiographical HBO series Crashing. Holmes returns to q to talk to Tom Power about his show, and what it's like to be part of the comedy community in 2018.

— Produced by Chris Trowbridge
