While growing up in Massachusetts, Jonesy seemed to have an innate gift for playing wiffleball. Turns out, there’s no professional wiffleball league, so he began exploiting his affability in the world of entertainment. First cultivating a strong stage presence while singing lead in a cover band called the “Carlton Fisk Homers,” he eventually moved on to stand-up comedy. Opportunity came when Jonesy was fired from his bill-collecting job for apartment hunting on Craigslist NYC.
That summer Jonesy moved to New York City and has continued performing his stand-up comedy act at clubs like Gotham, Standup NY, and the Comic Strip. Early on, a well-known New York Casting Director saw his act and referred him to one of the top talent agencies in the city where he was quickly signed.
Since then, Jonesy has been a principal actor in numerous national television commercials, voice overs, and Independent Films. He produces the comedy show “Hostile Comedy,” which has had a healthy 2 year open-ended run. He hasn’t stopped singing either. You can catch him performing as lead vocalist in a Red Hot Chili Pepper cover band called Pepperspray and as one part of an acoustic comedy duo called Songs in the Key of Cheese.
He continues to perform at the city’s top clubs and festivals. And though it’s not wiffleball… he keeps the dream alive by playing second base for the Gotham Comedy Club softball team.
