BIOGRAPHy

Anthony Jeselnik was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He earned a BA in English Literature from Tulane University. Anthony’s pitch-black sense of humor, brilliant joke writing, and devilish charm have made him a smash hit in the alternative comedy community and one of Daily Variety’s “Comedy’s Ten to Watch.” Anthony has appeared as a stand-up on many shows including Down & Dirty with Jim Norton (HBO), Conan, Premiun Blend, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly. After releasing his critically acclaimed debut album Shakespeare in 2010, he began writing for the Comedy Central Roasts and moved up to performer for the 2011 Roast of Donald Trump. In 2013, Jeselnik hosted his own Comedy Central series, The Jeselnik Offensive and released his second album, Caligula, which doubles as an hour-long stand-up special. In 2015, Jeselnik became the host of NBC’s Emmy Award-nominated series Last Comic Standing. His second stand-up special, Thoughts and Prayers, premiered in October 2015 on Netflix. Jeselnik will lighten up any event with his take-no-prisoners humor.
