If you spend most of your life hanging out at one of the most recognizable comedy venues in the world, you’re bound to learn different forms of truth from many legendary comedians. Son of famous HaHa Comedy Club owner Jack Assadourian and a premier comedian headlining numerous marquee comedy clubs throughout the U.S., Jack Assadourian Jr. has been seen on the shows Epix Sex Life as well as Amazon Laugh After Dark and Make America Laugh Again. Jack was the 2019 finalist on the NBC show Stand Up. He created the NoHo Comedy Festival, which attracted some of the country’s most talented comedians. Assadourian guest-starred in movies like 50 Shades of Black and participated in popular podcasts like The Church of What’s Happening Now with Joey Diaz and About Last Night with Adam Ray. Now, the comedian known to many as Jack Jr. is sharing some of comedy’s funniest true stories in the form of his podcast entitled Comedy Club Confessions.
Eager to create noteworthy click-bait material for his YouTube channel, Comedy Club Confessions will be featured as a weekly testimonial between Jack Jr. and your favorite comedy superstars and legends.
In this week’s episode, Assadourian is joined by comedian Jason Collings as the two discuss various comedic topics including how Jason started in stand-up comedy and who’s beefing?
Unknowingly, Jason’s ultimate decision to step on stage would rest on one pivotal moment. In 2006, Jason’s father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Knowing that it may be his father’s only chance to see him on stage, Jason made it his purpose to get on stage. He convinced a local Hollywood club to give him stage time, saying that he had been doing it for several years. 15 Minutes later, Jason found his purpose. The club made him an instant weekly regular never knowing that he fibbed his way in the door.
Like 99% of all other comedians, Jason has always had a love for comedy. The 1% percent that makes him different is that in only 5 years’ time, he has skyrocketed ahead of the pack. Starting his career at age 35, he has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in comedy. He has toured with Jo Koy and most recently, Carlos Mencia. He is a well-known regular at major comedy clubs including The Improv, The Laugh Factory, The Ice House, The Punchline, and The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club. Jason’s unique brand of observational humor and his ability to paint a picture with his physical comedy will have you falling out of your seats and coming back for more.
