In February 2003, J-L went to a bar near his apartment and watched an amateur showcase of comedians. He then began performing at open mics and quickly developed a knack for it, and was named Washington D.C.’s funniest college student, despite not really being a college student. After moving back to New York upon graduation, 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. After leaving the DA’s office, but before pursuing comedy full time, he learned two things: having money is great and he was actually the office “black guy,” despite looking Egyptian at best. He has been featured on “The Late Late Show,” “NESN Comedy All Stars,” “Comics Unleashed,” ESPN’s “The Dan Lebatard Show” and is a regular on “The Adam Carolla Show.” J-L’s act is incredibly diverse and has led to five stand up albums: 2006′s “Racial Chameleon,” 2008′s “Diamond Maker,” 2012′s “Too Big To Fail,” 2013′s “Keep My Enemies Closer” and 2016’s “Israeli Tortoise,” which hit #1 on the iTunes comedy chart. He also released 2017’s “Fireside Craps,” an entire album as Donald Trump which hit #3 on the iTunes comedy chart.
