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 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. 

When he’s not touring around the country, Conor is the co-creator, writer, and star of web series BOYS CLUB with friend and collaborator Nico Carney, which can and should be watched on YouTube. BOYS CLUB was originally developed as a series with Imagine Entertainment and Scott King. One time, someone kind of famous said he was too kind to be as funny as he is.
