You may recognize him from Giggle’s Comedy Club, Lots of Laughs Comedy Lounge, Headliner’s Comedy Club, and Nick’s Comedy Stop. It wasn’t long until he started working with some other comics in the area, such as Lenny Clarke, Steve Sweeney, Tony V, Christine Hurley, and many more!

Jody Sloane
Comedian, author, speaker, and USCG veteran finding humor, unexpected wisdom, and a way out in life's darkest corners.
"I've spent twenty-five years making people laugh. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn't just writing jokes — I was studying people.
As a Coast Guard veteran, stand-up comedian, speaker, and author, I've spent my career watching what happens when the conditions change. Whether I'm on stage, in a difficult conversation, or alone in the woods, I'm fascinated by one question:
Who are we when the world stops telling us who to be?"
