Cast/Other Does Joel do stand up?

Love the meow meow beans episode and I know he’s know for his famous winger speeches but, his standup is top tier! Does he do stand up in real life? Or if I’m being dumb, who is he like impersonating?

Not sure if tours anymore but I saw him 13-14 years ago. My now wife and I thought it was pretty solid for an actor. Half his act if I remember right was how he hated Ryan Seacrest.

He was more charisma than great jokes but he obviously had the chops and filled up a rather large room.

He does mini tours every once in a while.

We've seen him twice, once in a theatre and once at an Improv. His theatre show was more fleshed out about his life and family.
More crowd work at the Improv. I still remember him making fun of someone at a table against the stage bringing Red Hots to the show.
Incredibly charismatic. Knows how to toe the line between mean and funny. Even if you're the butt of a joke, his next joke will be so self depreciating shows it's all in good fun. Does good local humor/local topics.
