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.
