Watch Joe Zimmerman Do a Tight Set on the Tonight Show and Then, Share One of the More Insane Hell Gig Stories We’ve Heard
Joe Zimmerman is, and has been for years, a delight to watch and proves that with his latest late night set from last week’s Tonight Show.
In addition to this notch on what is sure to be one of many more instances of his stand-up making its way to TV, Joe Zimmerman shared a Dante’s-Inferno-esque hell gig story that has so many layers of absurdity that you almost can’t believe that he stuck it through to find his way to where he is now.
It’s a great example of the ridiculous amount of dedication that comedy demands.

If You’re in Asheville, NC, Don’t Miss Joe Zimmerman Recording His Debut Comedy Album
If You’re in Asheville, NC, Don’t Miss Joe Zimmerman Recording His Debut Comedy Album
Joe Zimmerman who you hopefully know from his being a great quarter of The Beards of Comedy or this great joke about President Andrew Jackson is recording his first solo comedy album that you can and should attend if you can get to the Lexington Ave. Brewery on Fri. Nov. 15th or Sat. Nov. 16th.
Yes, Asheville, NC is not very close at all to LA, but Joe’s that funny that you should check this out if you can or, at the very least, buy the album when it comes out.
Beards Amongst Beards
In a many parts of this vast disconnected metropolis populated by the phenomena known as “the hipster” (many of the male form sport an unruly beard), there is a thick haze of cynical intellectualism that has seeped into the cultural DNA of Los Angeles. Even within comedy and the intention to bring levity to a group strangers, an air of pretension precedes many jokes with obscure references and abstract irony. Again, many of these male “hipsters” take on the growth of a beard almost as a uniform of their general disdain for the main stream.
Though they have some mighty thick beards, the Beards of Comedy hardly come within a ballpark of the above description as they have an approach to comedy that, I believe, is welcoming to all (well, mostly all as long as you like your comedy leaning on the smarter side of the fence).
As they have an album called, “Comedy for People”, the quartet of Joe Zimmerman, Andy Sandford, TJ Young, and Dave Stone collectively bring a take on America and “the South” that’s both charming, yet highly satirical much to the delight of the tight crowd at Meltdown Comics. The comedic balance struck between the four who carry many comedy accolades with them all from Rooftop Comedy to being Atlanta’s Best Comedian via AtlantaStandsUp.com was so great that the show moved forward quite effortlessly even with the amazingly hilarious musings of comedic genius/special guest Kyle Kinane.
With the fresh goofiness of TJ Young,
the clever conciseness of Andy Sandford,
down-to-earth truthful observations of Dave Stone,
and the joyful absurdities of Joe Zimmerman (pictured at top), The Beards of Comedy put on such a damn fine show, I could have sworn that the crickets outside shut up. Together, as hinted above, they bring a hope about “the South” that there are people, thinkers if you will, that defy the dreary stereotypes constantly made fun of by several comics including themselves and unfortunately played up by the “Blue Collar Comedy Tour”.
At one part of the show, Joe Zimmerman took a guitar and TJ Young took a bucket and played a “Sad Emotional Song”, which, to me, a self-loathing hopeless romantic, was a pitch perfect barb on the popular singer/songwriter music that overwhelms indie film soundtracks today. Though being a far cry from “Git R’ Done”, I hope the Beards’ brand of comedy experiences a similar meteoric rise.
Currently on tour throughout the West Coast, the Beards of Comedy will helpfully extend their tour or simply go another one to stop by Los Angeles. In the meantime, you can purchase their album, “Comedy for People” here and stay tuned to the Comedy Bureau for what is sure to be a date with destiny back in LA to be beards that stand out from the madding crowd (of beards).
