Jesse started his comedy career in Pittsburgh in 1998. By 2005 he was performing all over the country every night and waking up hung over in strange places every morning. Driving back from a gig he was kindly arrested by two Jersey State Troopers who were not thrilled with the fact that he hit their windshield with a lit cigarette at 80 miles per hour. It was the wake up call he needed.

Since then, Jesse has been seen on the inaugural season of Comedy Central’s Live At Gotham. He's also been the host of AMC's Date Night, as well as appearing on Entertainment Tonight, and Lifetime. His debut CD Joyce To The World is played regularly on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio.

 In 2001 he received 2 American Advertising Awards (ADDYs) for his writing.

 In addition to the Comedy Addiction Tour, he’s been traveling the country as part of the prestigious Comedy Central on Campus College Tour.
