Such an awesome person and comedian!

Janesh is so funny and charismatic! Super witty and obviously has a great sense of humor. Awesome at working a room and understanding what will land and what won't. He's got a great repertoire, but also is always coming up with new content and can riff live. Seriously will have guests laughing out loud and hugely memorable. Can't recommend him enough!!

Hired as: Comedian, Comedy Show

Great Comedian for a Corporate Crowd

We had Janesh perform at our annual conference, and he was fantastic. From the second he got on stage, he brought great energy and immediately pulled everyone in.

Corporate crowds can be a tough audience as people are usually a little reserved and not in the laughing mood. But, he handled it perfectly. He read the room really well, kept it light without crossing any lines, and had people genuinely laughing.

On top of that, he was lovely to work with throughout the planning process. He was responsive, flexible with logistics, and made everything easy on our end. We’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to bring good energy and levity to a corporate event.

What to expect

Janesh is available for custom gigs, though the 3 most common he does are:

About

Based in Los Angeles, Janesh is a regular at Hollywood Improv and Comedy & Magic. He’s also performed at clubs across the country including SF Punch Line and The Comedy Store.

His comedy touches upon his immigrant upbringing and aggressively millennial persona. He’s also appeared in a Super Bowl commercial.

Prior to full-time entertainment, Janesh worked at Goldman Sachs, LinkedIn and Scribe. He was also a Fulbright Scholar. As a result he’s been hired for many corporate events (e.g. All Hands, Sales Kickoffs, Exec Offsites). His prior experience and first hand knowledge of working in the corporate environment while also pursuing stand-up comedy sets him apart from others. He knows how to relate to your employees in an HR safe way, so they’ll be entertained without anybody getting reprimanded.
