Joe is super duper happy to be back on stage with the TCB, because they are funny, and funny is good. That said, he looks forward to absolutely dominating the local theater scene wherever he lives when he is 60. He has stepped away from entertainment as a way to make money, and hopes to eventually use his new bizness skillz in bolstering the Clean Tech industry here in LA. Joseph recently graduated top of his class at California Polytechnic State University while pursuing an MBA, and he wants you to know it (see above). Critics have noted that his mesmerizing ability to portray characters who “use pomp and bluster as ways to hide their essentially pathetic nature” allows us to “hold a mirror to the true nature of America in the 21st century” (Ben Brantley, The New York Times)*.
