Hi, my name Jonathan van Halem. I’m a stand-up comedian based in Brooklyn, NY. I used to work at Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out The News, and currently work at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

A little bit about me - I host a great stand up show at Littlefield/Union Hall called Hot Gossip. I’ve performed on some of New York’s best showcases, like 50 First Jokes and Newcomers at the Bell House, and One Liner Madness. I have a bunch of PowerPoints that have done well online, like my set on the live show for Depths of Wikipedia, and my Top Straightest Moments of 2022.

Writing-wise, I have a fun piece published in Points In Case with my pal Chandler Dean. I also did a trial run as a Clickhole contributor in 2023, in which I sold exactly one headline, but shortlisted 17 others (email me and I’ll show ya).

When I’m not doing comedy, I’m patiently waiting for the New York Mets to win the World Series. My favorite Family Guy character is Stewie.
