“The combination of Joe’s calming vocalization and inventive writing is a thing of magic. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable show.”
~Buzzfeed
“Closed the show and destroyed the crowd with an audience participation bit that caused howling fits.”~Punchline Magazine
Known for his inventive writing style and playful persona, Joe grew up in Morgantown, West Virginia, and started his comedy career in North Carolina after graduating Davidson College. In 2012, he moved to New York City, which quickly led to appearances on The Late Late Show and John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show, and his resume has since grown to include The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Conan on TBS, Last Comic Standing, his own Comedy Central Half Hour.
Joe’s first solo album Smiling at Wolves reached number two on iTunes, and Paste Magazine named him one of 10 best comedians from the south. His second album, Innocence, is played regularly on Sirius XM radio, and in 2019 he recorded a Dry Bar special with 1.5 million views on YouTube.
His first one-hour special, Cult Classic, came out on Hulu in 2023. It was directed by Nate Bargatze, and The Comedy Bureau called it “one of the best specials of the year”.
Joe is also a writer, having contributed humor pieces to The New Yorker and The New York Times.
Mark Christopher
Mark Christopher is an old-school comic with a modern sensibility (meaning he tells jokes but not of the "dad" variety). His meticulous writing ensures that each performance is packed with ingenious twists and turns that keep the audience guessing (and of course laughing). He can work "blue" or clean, and is equally comfortable as a host or a headliner. Mark is from Miami, but started his comedy career in San Francisco, where he worked with many of the biggest names in comedy, including Bill Burr, Robert Schimmel, Emo Philips, Jackie Kashian, Kevin Nealon, Greg Proops and the late, great Mitch Hedberg. Side Note: Robin Williams once whispered into Mark's ear after a performance at The Purple Onion and Mark still carries the ear with him for inspiration (it's the left one). When he's not performing, Mark loves to scuba dive and he has even worked as a shark feeder's assistant.
