J-L Cauvin
In February 2003, J-L went to a bar near his apartment in Washington, D.C. where he was attending law school at Georgetown University and watched a showcase of amateur comedians. J-L began inquiring how he could get some stage time and after following some leads he began performing at open mics. Quickly developing a knack for it, J-L was named Washington D.C.’s funniest student in March 2004 at a sold out show at the D.C. Improv.
After moving back to New York upon graduation from law school in May 2004, J-L continued to work harder and harder as a comic, all while working as an Assistant District Attorney during the day in the Bronx. He received multiple invitations to the Boston, DC and Detroit Comedy Festivals, has traveled the country performing, and has appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and NESN Comedy All Stars.
J-L’s act is incredibly diverse. His topics include his Haitian-Irish upbringing, problems with being 6’7” (J-L’s height), numerous failed relationships, as well as more observational humor concerning topics like the proliferation of prison weight rooms and the real meaning behind the Rocky film series. In addition to those, his perfect President Obama impression closer has been wowing crowds across the country since November 2008. He has released two CDs, 2006’s Racial Chameleon and 2008’s Diamond Maker and has been featured in the book The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Jokes.
