Joseph Pera (born 24 July 1988)[3] is an American comedian, writer and actor. He is best known as the creator and star of Adult Swim's Joe Pera Talks with You.
Early life
Joe Pera was born in Buffalo, New York. He studied film at Ithaca College, where he competed in and won the college's stand-up competition three times.[4] Pera graduated from Ithaca College in 2010.[1][2] He moved to New York City to pursue comedy and would attend open microphone nights as often as possible.[5]
Career
Known for his slow, "grandfatherly" delivery and his penchant for wearing sweaters, Pera created the Adult Swim Infomercial Joe Pera Talks You to Sleep. This was followed by an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and another stand-alone Adult Swim special titled Joe Pera Helps You Find the Perfect Christmas Tree.[6] Thanks to the success of those programs (all produced by Chestnut Walnut, founded by him and Conner O'Malley),[7] Pera developed a television series for Adult Swim, which premiered on May 20, 2018, titled Joe Pera Talks with You.[5] He appeared on the talk show Conan on March 28, 2017, and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 4, 2019.[8][9]
