His colorful journey from Boston's gritty comedy scene to the star-studded stages of L.A and shares his insights into the evolution of his comedy style, Jonesy.

The Stein Time Show

Jonesy, a Boston native and comedian, has carved out a notable career in stand-up comedy since 2003. Starting with humor to navigate his short stature in Boston's tough comedy scene, he began performing at venues like Nick's Comedy Stop and a hotel behind Fenway Park. Transitioning from music to comedy, Jonesy found a new rhythm, managing his schedule and finances more effectively. ⁣ Jonesy’s journey took him from Boston to New York, where he immersed himself in the stand-up world, making notable appearances on shows like Gotham and Law and Order, and even performing on Letterman. His move to L.A. opened doors to further opportunities in stand-up and acting, as he adapted to the star-studded yet competitive comedy scene of Hollywood. Reflecting on his experiences, Jonesy contrasts the gritty, no-nonsense humor of Boston with the more positive vibe of L.A. His career has evolved from high-energy, edgy jokes to more intelligent and dark humor, often focused on personal grievances. His recent mini-tour in Asia introduced his unique American humor to mixed reactions, showcasing his adaptability and growth as a comedian. ⁣ Jonesy’s current projects include the popular daily podcast Weird AF News, which features short, engaging episodes about bizarre and offbeat news stories that often fly under the mainstream radar. He’s also exploring the possibility of relocating to Asia, drawn by its affordable living conditions and friendly people, contrasting sharply with his experiences in L.A., where he finds a more self-centered culture.
