Arrival date: June 2001
Arrived from: Boston, Mass.
When and where did you start performing comedy? I started comedy in Boston. I took a workshop with Rick Jenkins at the Brookline Continuing Education Center. The graduation show was at The Comedy Studio in Cambridge. I was so petrified I didn’t tell any of my friends that I was doing it.

Comedian Jon Fisch has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, has been featured in Maxim Magazine, and was the host of the widely popular podcast, “In the Tank”. A prolific monologist with universal appeal, Jon focuses on the idiosyncrasies of city living. Shortly after moving to NYC from his native Boston, he was chosen as one of Comedy Central’s Fresh Faces of Comedy and named one of Back Stage Magazine’s 10 Standout Stand-ups. His appearance on Last Comic Standing 4 – where he was the New York City Capital One Audience Favorite – earned him wide recognition and a new legion of fans. His other TV appearances include Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, VH1, Celebrity Apprentice, and 3 Men and a Chick Flick on the WE Network where he served as a host.

Humor has always been a part of Jon Fisch’s life. He grew up watching stand-up performances by Jerry Seinfeld, Roseanne Barr and Dennis Wolfberg with his father. And inherited the same sense of humor from his father and brother — together the boys would always crack jokes. – See more at: http://spartaindependent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130123/ENTERTAINMENT/130129944/Jon-Fisch-says-humor-became-clear-in-HS#sthash.rIIzIu75.dpuf

Among the many things Jon Fisch’s audience can expect on Thursday night—the opening night of the Hoboken Comedy Festival—making fun of Jersey was not one of it.
Fisch, 39 (or as he says, “on his triple bar mitzvah”), a comedian you know from many stand-up gigs in the city as well as a David Letterman, used to live in Weehawken for many years and has quite some history with Hoboken.

Newton native Jon Fisch doesn’t have any comic gimmicks. No props, no politics, no nerdy stereotypes. What you get with Fisch is just flat-out funny. Great writing, an easy sense of himself onstage, and the ability to walk into any comedy club and make people laugh, sometimes til it hurts. It’s what got him into the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, on Comedy Central, and Last Comic Standing.

When did you develop an interest in comedy?
We didn’t have classes the last month of my senior year of high school, so my friends and I would end up at my parents’ house watching all of the comedy specials that were on like Dennis Wolfburg, Seinfeld, and Roseanne. When I was a little kid, I remember loving Billy Crystal’s Saturday Night Live stuff. READ MORE HERE
