You’ve likely seen Joe
Matarese on one of his many television appearances, including
two sets on Late Show with David Letterman,
five on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson,
or on his Comedy Central Presents half hour
special, among many others. As a finalist on America’s
Got Talent, Joe received a standing ovation from the
2,000-person crowd and all four celebrity
judges.
With all these amazing
credits, you’d think this native of Cherry Hill, NJ would be at the
top of the comedy world. But like so many other very talented
comedians who are not quite household names, Joe is out there
grinding it out, making hay when and where he can.
Comedy is Joe’s
passion, but it’ also his job—a job he’s been
doing for 30 years and one that gets harder as he gets older
and continues to balance his work with his commitment to his
family. Joe and his wife—who has a PhD
in psychology—juggle their
schedules to raise two kids in the suburbs of New York
City.
I have spent many
weekends on the road as Joe’s opening act, and I consider him to be
a good friend.
