Jesse Fernandez
I live in the Bay Area most of the time, professionally writing, telling, and drawing jokes. It's what I've been doing for a decade and a half, and I love it. I even wrote my master's thesis on the linguistic mechanisms that elicit laughter.
I've had the pleasure to write for countless organizations, including ABC, MSN, Starbucks, Frito-Lay, Hitachi, TED Talks, and AJ+, Onion Inc. I teach writing, comedy, performance, and more at Google. I was a staff writer at eBaum's World for about 4 years and head writer there for 3 years. I once gave a talk at the International Society for Humor Studies, gave comedy presentations in 10 countries, became a two-time finalist (one-time champion) in the National College Comedy Competition and performed in 10 consecutive SF Sketchfests.
