Conor Janda's Bloomington Debut!
Conor Janda's Bloomington Debut!
Conor Janda is a Brooklyn-based comedian and was recently named one of the 2025 New Faces of Comedy at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. He has been featured on Comedy Central and in Vulture, and he’s opened for Kevin Nealon, Atsuko Okatsuka, and Mary Beth Barone.
Contrary to one angry Instagram comment from a man with a squirrel as his profile photo, Janda doesn’t only talk about being gay. He also talks about growing up Catholic (which made him gay), being an alcoholic (which is because he’s gay), and having a stay at home dad (which is a pretty gay thing to do).
One time, a woman on a podcast said Janda “tells stories like he’s running out of time,” which is a nice way of saying he has anxiety and a lot to cover.
Conor Janda is a stand-up, writer, and actor. His writing exemplifies both the neuroses of a New York transplant and the fiery spirit of a Philadelphia native. Conor can be seen on Netflix in Kevin Hart's Funny AF, on Don't Tell Comedy's channel, and was recently named a New Face of Comedy at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. He has been featured as a writer and actor on the Gag, Comedy Central’s queer digital channel.
Conor’s stand up covers everything from having a stay at home dad to going to an all boys Catholic school to getting sober from alcohol. He is too anxious to be at a Fire Island Underwear Party or a Philadelphia Eagles tailgate, which may be the only thing bridging those communities, a glimmer of unity in these divided times that Conor is happy to provide.
When he’s not touring around the country, Conor is the co-creator, writer, and star of web series BOYS CLUB with friend and collaborator Nico Carney, which can and should be watched on YouTube. BOYS CLUB was originally developed as a series with Imagine Entertainment and Scott King. One time, someone kind of famous said he was too kind to be as funny as he is.
