Who Joe Dombrowski is

Joe Dombrowski is a stand-up comedian from Metro Detroit and a former elementary school teacher whose viral April Fools' Day spelling-test prank in 2017 led to multiple appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. His stand-up, drawn from his family, his marriage, new fatherhood and his years in the classroom, has been featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and at Just for Laughs in Montreal, the New York Comedy Festival and Netflix Is a Joke Fest, and Variety named him one of its Top 10 Comics to Watch. Based in Seattle, he co-hosts the comedy game show My Straight Friends and the Daddy Hood podcast with Colton Underwood, and produces the podcast Social Studies.
