In 2013 Joe made his television debut on John Oliver's New York Stand Up Show on Comedy Central. Since then has appeared on Conan, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Season 8 of NBC's Last Comic Standing, Nickelodeon, and recorded a Comedy Central Half Hour Special. He was chosen as one of the New Faces at Just For Laughs Montreal, where he was positively reviewed by the The Spit Take and Time Out NY. In 2014, he recorded his debut album, Smiling at Wolves which reached #2 on iTunes, and Buzzfeed named him a “Comedian you should be paying attention to,” saying “The combination of Joe's calming vocalization and inventive writing is a thing of magic.” Praised for an accessible style pairing absurdism with observational and autobiographical material, Joe is an original member of the Beards of Comedy, who toured from 2008-2012 and released two albums — 2011's Cardio Mix & 2009's Comedy For People. Based out of New York city, Joe is currently touring the country with his new hour.

QUOTES “He said one word… just one word, and I started cracking up. Every part about him is funny.” -Brooke Gibson – Writer “…one of my favorite stand up CDs of 2014.” -The Comic's Comic “Joe Zimmerman proves you don't have to limit yourself to broaden your appeal, and that an interest in expanding your view of the world might just pay off in comedy dividends.” –Impose Magazine “Avoided many of the clichéd mannerisms and styles of the contemporary standup world without coming across arrogant, smug, or snarky.” -Charleston City Paper “More than 1,200 audience members could barely catch their breath between the twisted tales and zingers flying through the air.” -Hoopla “An approach to comedy that is welcoming to all.” -Comedy Bureau (LA) “...closed the show and destroyed the crowd with a bit that caused howling fits.” -Punchline Magazine
