Well, I suppose I will begin with my admission, which is obviously the thing

that lured you into reading this post. Well, I won’t keep it from you any

longer, so here it is: I have no idea how many people read this blog. My

website tells me thousands have “subscribed”, but I believe a majority of

to be bots. Usually upon posting an update, I will simply receive a single

email from my Dad, letting me know he got it. So, hello father.


Second, hello to anyone else who is reading this, including my bots and

spam-heads, and most likely my mother. It is September 2020, and I’m

in New York City. I think the emails are done now from corporations letting

us know they have our back for this pandemic, which is why I’ve decided to

reach out at this time finally, to say that yes, I too have our back. I am

keeping things very save and clean here at Joe Zimmerman, and you can

rest assured, I’m looking out for you.


Thirdly, to my surprise, lately there’s been a steady increase in

companies reaching out to me for private Zoom gigs (in the 10-30 minute

performance range) for virtual comedy events. It seems that many people

are looking for ways to spice up their Zoom meetings: be it a quarterly

event, or a cocktail hour, or a meet up with potential clients, and it turns

out a “comedian” is a solid Zoom draw and ice breaker… (also I’m told goats

are popular for this). I’ve had some fun Zoom gigs lately for two tech

companies, a large law-firm and a small law-firm, a financial advisor, a

home-building company, a non-profit, and even a bunch of nannies. I’ve set

up a brick background in my home complete with a tiny stool and fake

microphone. So if you own a company, or run a company, or work at a

company (and especially if you are the CEO of Zoom, Eric Yuan) and you’d

like me in your home, talking to you from my home (with comedy) feel free

to have your people reach out to my people!


In conclusion, that is the end of this blog update!
