Hes also been a featured writer for The New York Times, Elite Daily, and The Interrobang. Tanael came to the United States in 2008 to initially go to college and fulfill the immigrant parents dream. After realizing he didnt speak English as well as he thought, he decided to do something about it, and thats how he came across a lot of new things. Standup comedy is the most important of these. Some people care about wearing a brown belt if theyre wearing brown shoes, but TJ really cares about telling jokes in front of strangers. Thats just how things are. TJ hopes to tell jokes for a long time and be great at it. Because he really cares about that. Thats the life he chose. And he invites you to come along for the journey. He currently resides in Brooklyn.
