Hailing from Oakland, CA, Josef Anolin has been a regular in the Bay Area comedy scene longer than he’d like to admit. He has also honed his craft in New York City, where he’d still be if not for that minor inconvenience formerly known as the pandemic. On behalf of himself as an Asian American, he wants you to know he didn’t do that to you.
He has an Android phone because he likes pissing you off with his green text bubbles.
