Comedian Joe Machi

Saucer-eyed and always appearing slightly startled, comedian Joe Machi has a stage presence like no other, innocently telling jokes that end with wickedly funny punchlines. Winner of the New York Underground Comedy Festival's Emerging Comics Contest, Machi made it to the finals of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2014, bowling over judges Roseanne Barr, Keenen Ivory Wayans and Russell Peters with his off-center observations and inimitable style. Now, after wowing capacity crowds at Carolines on Broadway and Comic Strip Live, this comedic rising star comes to headline Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Club in Sunnyvale.
