30. Tanael Joachim (TJ)

On Episode 30 of Comedy Anatomy, Mike and Masavia chat with a rising star in stand-up comedy, Tanael Joachim, also known as TJ. Originally from Haiti and growing up speaking Creole and French, TJ learned English watching Comedy Central. We talk about how coming from Haiti has given TJ a unique perspective on the American Experience - from religion, to race, to everyday idiosyncrasies. TJ is a regular at the Comedy Cellar and the Gotham Comedy Club in NYC, and has performed at festivals all over the United States. Additionally, TJ is an op-ed contributor to the New York Times, and his special titled January 3rd is out now on Amazon Prime.

Comedy Anatomy delves into the minds of comedians and tries to understand how they navigate the comedy industry, and the world at large. Join us as we take a deeper, more introspective look at the people who pursue the art form of comedy. It’s all about having thoughtful, engaging conversations with some of entertainment's best and brightest.

In each episode, hosts Masavia Greer and Mike George interact with comedians like few ever do, revealing who their guests are as comedians but more importantly, as human beings. Ideally, our conversations leave listeners with a little wisdom to enlighten their own personal journeys.
