Learn from Joe & Cathy
Whether Joe is producing, managing, writing, or teaching, he’s always developing exceptional comedy content and talent. Much to his dad’s chagrin, Joe followed his calling and left the corporate world as an in-house advertising executive to start a new career in comedy as Manager of The Original New York Improv. He made a swift transition to Caroline’s on Broadway where he made his home for eight years.
“I believe we don't grow into having a sense of humor, we grow out of it. No one had to teach you how to laugh. The triggers for humor are built in us all. The challenge is remaining connected to them and allowing them to evolve as we grow up. I'll help you unleash your funny bone in a way that connects to a room full of strangers.”
