Joe Bando brings the heat.

A bold, unapologetic voice in comedy, Bando delivers hard-hitting punchlines wrapped in sharp insight and raw honesty. 

His stand-up isn’t just funny — it’s a full-contact experience. 

With every set, he challenges the crowd to laugh hard and think deeper.

Known for his fearless take on modern life, Bando skewers hypocrisy wherever it hides — from culture and politics to relationships and personal growth. 

His comedy walks the line between edge and introspection, blending brutal truths with surprising heart. 

Raised in a gritty, working-class Cleveland household and married to a psychologist, Bando’s unique lens fuses street-level grit with psychological depth and spiritual clarity.

His personal transformation — from overweight and angry to fit, grounded, and spiritually aligned — fuels every performance. 

A disciplined spiritual practitioner and strength training advocate, Bando brings more than laughs—he brings real evolution.

Now based in Los Angeles, Bando’s become a fixture in the city’s vibrant comedy underground. 

He’s shared the stage with icons like Adam Ray, Sam Tripoli, Dean Delray, Jeff Garcia, T.J. Miller,  Leonarda Jonie, Greg Fitzsimmons, Pablo Francisco, and has been featured on the wildly popular Kill Tony show multiple times. 

His acting chops landed him in Am I Racist?, a comedic documentary by The Daily Wire, and the underground cult comedy documentary film A Sense of Humor.

Whether headlining a packed venue or dropping into a late-night showcase, Joe Bando leaves audiences laughing, thinking, and talking long after the lights come up.
