He is the 2018 winner of the Eliminator Comedy Challenge, and has toured extensively, opening up for Dusty Slay, Dave Keochner, Ali Wong, Theo Vonn and Maria Bamford to name a few. His unique blend of music, thought provoking comedy and absurdism makes for a truly unique show.

His career spanned comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships and cable-TV including appearances on HBO, Showtime, various sitcoms and several motion pictures. He began his career at the infamous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, and toured with the late Sam Kinison as one of the “Outlaws of Comedy.”

JOE LOWERS

After headlining his own show in Las Vegas for over 10 years, Joe has packed it up and taken it on the road! Comedic veteran Joe Lowers brings his unique style of comedy to the stage and has been entertaining audiences for over 25 years. His ability to involve the audience has made him a one-of-a-kind comedian. Joe not only involves the audience, but he also involves the other comics working with him. It’s a comedy show like you’ve never seen. No knock-knock jokes here, just incredible observations of non-stop adult entertainment.
