Haitian-Born Comic Riffs on Culture & Community in NYC | United States of Comedy | Independent Lens

Описание: Official website: https://to.pbs.org/IL_2024 | #IndieLensPBS
Haitian-born, Brooklyn-based comic Tanael "TJ" Joachim explores the process and art of developing a joke. We follow him during the pandemic as he hones his routine during subway rides and with supportive friends. His brand of comedy frames family and culture against the unique experience of living in New York City as an immigrant.
