More about TJ:
Born and raised in Haiti, T.J moved to the United States in 2008 at the age 19, learned English, and started pursuing stand-up comedy four years later. He went one to become one of the 8 finalists in the Boston Comedy Festival in 2016. He has been featured on FOX5, AXS TV, and he received major praise and notoriety for his heartfelt response in a brilliant New York Times Op-Ed after President Trump called his homeland a shithole.
The hour long set recorded in Brooklyn on January 3rd is a superb culmination of T.J's years as a stand-up comedian in America. With his caustic wit, razor-sharp writing, and casual conversational delivery, T.J presents a keen outsider perspective to the public that only he can provide on the many topics at the forefront of American cultural and social life: immigration, race, the Me Too Movement, and Donald Trump.
