Growing up in New Jersey, Joanne was
repeatedly assured of one thing; “you’re so funny, you should do comedy.” Armed with that knowledge, she headed off in
the most obvious of comedic directions, college in Florida.
Her major, you guessed it, Marine Biology. A couple little twists and turns on the road
since graduating and she is now a steady fixture on the comedy scene.
Several years into the business and Joanne has never been more on top of her game. She consistently delivers a unique “stream of consciousness” style of humor that keeps audiences either rolling in the aisles or on the edges of their seats, anxious to hear what she has to say next. With an amazing gift for improv, razor-sharp wit, and a subtle delivery, Joanne is an unexpected gem. A comedian so able to tap into the moment that no two shows are ever alike.
A regular at Gotham Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club and more, not to mention a fixture in the traveling show, “The Broads of Broadway”, she makes her way around the club scene and around the country. Her TV credits include “Here TV’s Hot Gay Comics” and festivals consist of The New York Underground Comedy Festivals and more. She’s also involved behind the scenes as a co-producer of a weekly show at the New York Comedy Club, as well as co-producing and co-hosting “The MoJo Variety Show” and has ventured out into the college circuit, hosting and starring in events at Bryn Mawr College and Monmouth, Lehigh, and Shippensburg Universities. Joanne has proven she can do it all. In the process, she has developed a stellar reputation with fans, fellow comedians, managers, producers, club owners- you name it.
A good-natured, professional attitude towards the business has and will open doors all over the world for Joanne. On stage her distinct style transcends the mediocre and catches attention before she even says a word. Once she does, audiences are guaranteed a rare commodity in today’s comedy- something refreshing, original, and fun.
