Jono Zalay is one of those odd cases in comedy where an individual went really far in one field that has nothing to do with telling jokes and went on to be a comedian any way because, as it turns out, that was their true calling.

Zalay got a PhD in neuroscience, but doing stand-up was not only something he chased passionately, but another field he came to excel in. As you might imagine, Jono takes a very logical, measured approach to his jokes on his album Snake Oil whether it depends on wordplay, timing, diction, syntax, or the angle in which he approaches his observations. 

While you can see scientific influence in his comedy, it’s definitely, above all, funny.

Get Snake Oil, fresh off of the Comedy Dynamics label here.
