Hot Ones meets stand-up as comedians do stand-up while eating spicy peppers.

With headliner JOE FERNANDEZ:

Joe Fernandez is a half-Cuban half-Irish (or Cubish) comedian and actor. Described as cerebral, sardonic, and flat out bizarre, Joe combines low-brow, off-color humor with high-brow references to satirize serious subjects. Joe has morphed smart and stupid into his own unique brand of silly--but layered--comedy. He’s taken his offstage persona of intolerable presence and morphed it into his on-stage persona of lovable jerk and is facetious to a fault.
Joe has performed in numerous comedy festivals such as Chicago TBS Just For Laughs Fest, the Boston Comedy Fest, the Memphis Comedy fest, and Chicago Sketchfest. He was a finalist for the Andy Kaufman Award. Joe is a regular at many Chicago comedy institutions, including Zanies, Laugh Factory, Comedians You Should Know, and Paper Machete. He’s opened for some of the biggest names in comedy like Dave Attell, Jon Lovitz, Natasha Leggero, and Harland Williams. His debut comedy album, "Ugly", opened at #1 on iTunes.
