Praised for his accessible style blending absurdism with a wide-eyed, aw-shucks demeanor, Joe Zimmerman has established himself as a significant presence in the comedy scene. Born and raised in Morgantown, West Virginia, Joe attended Davidson College, graduating in 2005. His journey in comedy began with the Beards of Comedy, a group he co-founded, which toured extensively from 2008 to 2012, releasing two well-received albums along the way. Zimmerman's breakout year was 2013, marked by key performances that catapulted him into the spotlight. He made his Comedy Central debut on John Oliver’s New York Stand Up Show and his late-night television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Additionally, Joe was selected as one of the New Faces at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal, an acknowledgment of his rising star in comedy. Buzzfeed named him a top comic to watch, highlighting his “calming vocalization and inventive writing” as a thing of magic and praising his performances as some of the most enjoyable to experience. 2014 further solidified his career with the release of his Half Hour Special, which aired on Comedy Central on July 25th, and his participation in Season 8 of Last Comic Standing. His performances garnered acclaim, particularly from notable judges like Roseanne Barr and Russell Peters. That same year, Zimmerman released his debut solo album, “Smiling at Wolves,” which quickly made waves, reaching #2 on the iTunes comedy charts. Now based in New York City, Joe maintains a strong audience connection through his relatable humor and inventive storytelling, continuing to build on the momentum of his early successes.
