Oddball Comedy Fest West Palm Beach Guide Part 3
Jermaine Fowler
Only 23, Jermaine Fowler has accomplished so much in his career. On his 20th birthday, he moved to New York City from Washington D.C. with a small suitcase and big dreams. Soon after, he was being acknowledged in the New York Post’s “50 Funniest Jokes” alongside David Letterman and Jay Leno. He’s performed in festivals across the country like the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival where he won the Rooftop Comedy Silver Nail Award. He’s also performed as a finalist in NBC’s “Stand Up for Diversity,” toured with Comedy Central and chosen for ABC’s 10th Annual Diversity Showcase. He is regularly featured on CollegeHumor.com and has appeared in numerous commercials. He will next be seen in Fox’s reboot of “In Living Color.”
Jim Jefferies
Jim Jefferies has proven again to be one of the most prolific comedians working today with his announcement of ‘The Unusual Punishment Tour.’
With his previous tour ‘Freedumb’ coming to Netflix as a special on July 1 (his third for Netflix and seventh special in eight years), the time has come for Jim to retire that groundbreaking material and bring his worldwide legion of fans a fresh helping of all-new razor sharp social commentary that pulls no punches and knows no boundaries.
Joey Diaz
Born in Havana, Cuba and raised in North Bergen, NJ, Joey ‘Coco’ Diaz has quickly become one of the most sought after actors and comedians in the entertainment industry today. His love of storytelling is reflected in each role he takes: whether it is on film or on stage, his passion for entertaining and delighting audiences shines through every performance. This winter, Diaz can next be seen starring as ‘Mikey’ opposite Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Kevin Hart, and Kim Basinger in the highly anticipated feature film Grudge Match (Warner Bros.). Diaz’s start in comedy began while serving a short stint at a correctional facility in Denver, CO in 1988. “Each Wednesday we would watch movies on the projector, but sometimes it would break,” he shares, “so I would get up and do stand up to fill the time.” Learning he had the skills to make an audience laugh, he pursued comedy after his release and began performing at an assortment of comedy clubs in the area. While he was touring as a working comic, he began acting in a variety television and film roles. You may recognize him from his appearances in The Mentalist, Children’s Hospital, My Name is Earl, or General Hospital- to name a few. On the film front, Diaz has held roles in The Longest Yard, Spider Man 2, Smiley Face, and Taxi, among others. In 2013, Diaz continues to perform stand up and act, while also staying on top of the new media move in podcasting. Currently, Diaz hosts his bi-weekly podcast The Church of What’s Happening Now, which ranks among some of the most highly downloaded podcasts online.
