Hop For Pop

Jason moved to New York for an engineering job and took acting classes to meet women. He ended up an actor instead — sketch, improv, off-off-Broadway — and stand-up came last. “I never had stage fright, because I was always on stage. I just wasn’t funny on stage. So I had to learn to be funny.” 🎭

🌍 Six months in, he still hadn’t written an actual joke. A friend sat him down in a diner and told him so, and they wrote one together: vampires are the only monster that wears a tuxedo. It’s on his first album as a tribute. Within a week of that click he had five polished minutes. ✨

💫 He’ll take a joke on stage until it stops getting laughs, on purpose. “Every single time I go on stage I should fail at something, because that’s where your jokes become better.” And if a set goes perfectly with no risks taken, he doesn’t enjoy it. He’d rather come off having bombed with something to write down. 🎬

🎪 The best thing in the interview is his five rules for joking about sensitive things, which end with rule five: remember rules one and three, and be ten times funnier than that.
