The Basement Famous Tour
Haitian born stand-up comedian TJ (Tanael Joachim) is hitting the road across America and Europe with his third hour of standup. Bringing his signature wit and conversational delivery on stage, he tackles his place in America as an immigrant, languages, love, and our current soceity. It's TJ's most insightful and funniest hour yet. It's not a show for the faint of heart, but if you love standup comedy, then you surely will love this show!
TJ is currently based in New York City. TJ has a very laid back, smooth, and conversational style. He jokes about race, society’s idiosyncrasies, and the inherent contrast between life in Haiti and America. He has made appearances on Gotham Comedy Live (AXS TV) and Good Day New York (FOX).
TJ is a paid regular at the Comedy Cellar and Gotham Comedy Club in NYC. He has performed all over the world. He recently returned from a small European tour where he performed in English and French.
He has opened for Colin Quinn, Janelle James, Maria Bamford and Sean Patton. He has also been a featured performer at numerous festivals like Netflix Is A Joke Festival, SF Sketchfest and the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival.
TJ is also an Op-Ed contributor for The New York Times.
You can watch his special, JANUARY 3RD, on Amazon and listen to his album, SON OF HAITI, on all audio platforms.
Check out his Don’t Tell Comedy set on YouTube.
