Jimmy Pardo
Comedy
Jimmy Pardo, known as “The Fastest Mind in Comedy,” is a seasoned stand-up comedian and host of the award-winning podcast Never Not Funny.
Jimmy has made over one hundred television appearances, including seminal shows like The Tonight Show, Conan, and The Late Late Show.
A lifelong dream of hosting a radio show similar to the ones he grew up listening to in Chicago is the inspiration behind his success as host of his long-running podcast Never Not Funny, as well as hosting TV shows such as Science Channel’s critically acclaimed Race To Escape, National Lampoons Funny Money on Game Show Network, five seasons of AMC’s Movies At Our House and episodes of NBC’s Late Friday, VH1’s The Surreal Life & The Playboy Morning Show.
Pardo’s love of music (he has attended close to 500 rock concerts) and many years in the music business are useful for his web series Jimmy’s Records & Tapes, currently in its fourth season on YouTube.
Renowned for his quick-witted improvisation style, Pardo uses his material as a jumping-off point for his act, with the ultimate goal of having a conversation with the audience. This makes his performances a whirlwind of crowd work, top-of-mind references, stories, and asides, with each show being a one-of-a-kind, inimitable experience.
His three comedy albums, UNO, Pompous Clown & Sprezzatura, have all topped the comedy album chart and many critic’s best of lists.
He can be seen entertaining crowds across the country when not hosting the Never Not Funny podcast & Jimmy’s Records & Tapes from the cozy confines of his Sherman Oaks studio.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT JIMMY PARDO
“What I love about Jimmy is that he lives by his wits – his mind is so quick and facile that he gets the audience laughing, but they’re listening as well.”
– CONAN O’BRIEN
“Jimmy may be the funniest man adverse to jokes. He doesn’t write them; he rarely tells them. And that translates as hilarious to the audience. Call him the crowd whisperer.”
– LA TIMES
“The funniest host in podcasting.”
-ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
It’s clear Pardo’s one small step ahead of the audience, one giant leap beyond the comedy industry as a whole.”
– LA WEEKLY
“Pardo has the ability to do crowd-work like no other comedian today that I am aware of – a quality that echos and even rivals that of Don Rickles.”
– POPSTRIKE.COM
“Onstage, Pardo is as free-form as Ross Noble, as biting as Greg Proops, and as formal as Johnny Carson. Perhaps the best comparison, if one can truly be made, is to Groucho Marx, encapsulating all the manic energy and just a hint of the irreverence that made Groucho a legend.”
– OTWO MAGAZINE (Ireland)
“Never Not Funny was one of the first, and it remains one of the best.”
– THE AV CLUB
“The undisputed king of onstage riffing and crowd-work
