Jeremiah Watkins is the high-energy comedian who made Judd Apatow fall back in love with comedy—and that's a direct quote from Judd himself! Known for his lightning-fast improvisational skills and physical comedy style, Watkins has carved out a unique niche in the stand-up world with his ability to create hilarious material on the spot. A former mainstay on the legendary "Kill Tony" podcast, where his spontaneous character work and quick-witted roasts became fan favorites, Watkins has evolved into a headlining act touring clubs across the country. His comedy specials "Family Reunion" on Amazon Prime and "DADDY" on YouTube showcase his raw, personal storytelling mixed with crowd work mastery. Beyond stand-up, Watkins is a prolific content creator, hosting "Stand-Up On The Spot"—a show where comedians perform with zero prepared material—and co-hosting "Trailer Tales" with Chelcie Lynn and Libbie Higgins. A devoted father of two, Watkins seamlessly weaves his parenting experiences into his act, creating relatable content that resonates with audiences nationwide. His fearless approach to comedy and genuine connection with crowds has made him one of the most exciting rising stars in the comedy scene.
