Stand up comedian and writer from Chicago who now resides on the West Coast. JR can be seen performing at Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco and Zanies Comedy Clubs in Chicago. His work has been published in the Chicago Tribune and recently he was a part of SF Sketchfest 2015.
JR's also the host of the PGP dating podcast Don't Take It From Us. He loves you very, very much.
I appreciate it and agree that the stances of “Stop doing this” or “You’re not an x y or z if you do this” is stale. I just remembered how my best friend’s old man would call us sissies when we were 12 for using straws and thought I could make it funny. Totally appreciate you not finding it so, we put our stuff out there for this exact reason.
I appreciate you being real and calling me a small venue comic. I’d also call myself a “weeknight club comic.” In terms of offensive stuff it’s not something I make an effort to do but I have found people in the cities of SF and Oakland are much more “sensitive” to jokes that might toe the line as opposed to people in other parts of the Bay Area. Oddly enough it’s the complete opposite of Chicago, where I started. In Chicago you can be more “edgy” in the city but in the burbs you need to button it up. Must be all the Catholic guilt.

These are the sacrifices we have to make
Where do you put the long straw when you get home later that night, alone?
but the blood just becomes part of the drink then
Sorry to hear that but you’re welcome for the free content
I left her in Thailand
That makes sense. The post was originally titled “Inside the World of Comedy Groupies” but that got changed pretty quickly
I’m stuck somewhere in between un and funemployment and I think Will’s lashing out because I texted him from Thailand during the middle of the workday
@me next time
That’s my favorite movie!
This was v accurate and I’m Chit town born and raised. That being said Sheffields all day
Exactly

Sure, how much money are you willing to compensate us with?

Don’t forget the episode live from an aquarium in which Jenna will be in catatonic shock the entire time!
Jenna’s the star I’m the guy who passes her the rock (and does all the editing). Thanks for checking it out!
When guys in L.A. are closing out their tabs and calling Ubers the sun’s rising in NYC Noam, don’t you know how time zones work?
