JOE MATARESE

TV Highlights: Premium Blend, Last Comic Standing, Late Show with David Letterman, The Carson Daly Show, The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn

Why He's On The Site: Although Joe's act isn't exactly "Cringe" he's one of the funniest comedians working the NYC circuit...CH first became a fan of Joe at the Steinberg Talent showcase in October of 2004. He simply destroyed and upstaged all of the other performers that night (including headliner Charlie Murphy)...Joe's act mainly consists of what a fucking mess his life is, as he's stricken with all types of disorders...Joe is also blessed with crowd work ability and can keep up with whatever is thrown his way...His TV show concept "What's So Funny?" is also a brilliant idea. It revolves around comedians doing their acts and then having it psycho-analyzed afterwards

Official Bio: Joe grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ and was the only one in his family to move off the block. After doing standup for three years in Philadelphia, he moved to New York City to pursue comedy more seriously. He has since appeared on many TV shows including MTV's Spring Break, The Jim Breuer Show, The Carson Daly Show, NBC's Late Friday, numerous times on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Last Comic Standing, and most recently, Comedy Central's Premium Blend. Joe's completely autobiographical act pokes fun at his neurotic Italian family and how they¹ve molded him, his hatred of single-life in LA, his frantic move back East to find real love, and his engagement to a woman who has a Ph.D. in Psychology (his perfect match). Now his main objective is fixing Joe - he has to if he wants this relationship to work.
