Joe Fernandez is a half-Cuban half-Irish (or Cubish) comedian and actor. Growing up in Texas he had an affinity for the sport of baseball and dreamed of one day playing for the Houston Astros. When his body didn’t grow up with his dreams, he moved to the performing arts where muscles aren’t necessary. Joe has been performing stand-up comedy over the past 10 years where he’s taken his off-stage persona of intolerable presence and morphed it into his on-stage persona of lovable jerk. He satirizes through absurdity and is facetious to a fault. He has performed in numerous comedy festivals such as Chicago TBS Just For Laughs Fest, the Boston Comedy Fest, the Memphis Comedy fest, Chicago Sketchfest and he was a finalist for the Andy Kaufman Award. He’s a regular on the Chicago comedy scene having featured at Zanies, Laugh Factory, Comedy Bar, and the Improv Schaumburg. If you're not in the same area as Joe, you can always hear him on his podcast 30 Characters.
