Joe Kwaczala is a Los Angeles-based comedian who began his career in Chicago but grew up in Pittsburgh. He has performed as one of Comedy Central's "Up Next" Comics to Watch and made his television debut with his Comedy Central Stand-Up Presents half-hour special. Not just a stand-up, he has acted in several national commercials and written for The Onion News Network, ClickHole, and MAD Magazine. Joe's also known for releasing 31 videos in one day, a feat that garnered praise from Vulture and The A.V. Club. A select number of these sketches were compiled into a pilot called Kwaczala, which won "Best Late Night Series" at Seriesfest and was declared Funniest Show at Seriesfest by Paste Magazine. This series can be seen in full on Amazon Prime. Joe pulled off the stunt again with another successful one-day video drop entitled 21 for '21. All told, Joe's videos have accumulated more than 8 million views online. Currently, Joe is in production on a hybrid sketch-music comedy album for the #1 independent comedy distribution label 800 Pound Gorilla. He also recently recorded his second stand-up special, which is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2023.
