AMP Comedy: Josh Gondelman

Comedian Josh Gondelman takes a break from his gig as senior writer on Showtime’s Desus & Mero to take the mic at AMP. The celebrated comedy writer has scored two Peabody Awards and three Emmys for his work on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. He is also the mastermind behind the Shorty Award-winning Modern Seinfeld Twitter account, and his writing has appeared in The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, and other prestigious publications. You also may have seen him on Conan and Late Night with Seth Meyers. Onstage, Gondelman charms audiences using his good-natured storytelling and cracks them up with his sharp, pointed wit. He takes topics from surprise parties to his experience teaching preschool and makes them all equally hilarious.

Whether it’s a crowd of 40, 400, or 4,000, DC-based comedian Jared Stern makes audiences laugh up and down the east coast and beyond. His latest album, A Couple of Characters, showcases his mild-mannered, sardonic comedy which has been called both “cerebral” and “intestinal.” Stern has worked with national headliners Jeff Ross, Louis CK, and many more.
