Headliner Jared Stern

Jared Stern has been making complete strangers laugh at him for twenty years and counting. From humble beginnings at a hole-in-the-wall club in Baltimore in 2002, he is now the most humble person in the world, not that he’s one to brag about it. He was recently told that his comedy was “top drawer”, which is where he keeps his socks and underwear, so that makes sense.

During his career he has performed with the likes of Mike Birbiglia, Judah Friedlander, Richard Lewis, ISMO, Orny Adams, John Witherspoon, Jon Lovitz, Emo Philips, and Caroline Rhea. He was voted the 2023 & 2024 (and 2013) Best Comedian in D.C. by the readers of the Washington City Paper. He was a featured performer at the 2017 What A Joke Fest, the 2018 LaughFest, the 2019 Oak City Comedy Festival, and the 2023 & 2024 North Carolina Comedy Festival. His new album, Live On Broadway*, is available on all digital platforms. He can be seen in the comedy special, A Couple Of Characters, available on Prime Video, Apple TV+, and other streaming platforms. He is also the co-Jared Stern of the Between Two Sterns podcast.
