My name is Joey Zimmerman and I am a stand up comedian. This class helped me use my writing skills towards creating TV ads and writing copy. 

 

The project I did with Rhett for Chipotle came together in the end really nice. I like how we had the "school of fish" idea. That idea seemed to be different than most others in the class. I came up with the line "From the shore to the store" and i believe it captured the "fresh" and "natural" feel that Chipotle has built with their store. 

 

I enjoyed writing the open letter assignment. It gave me a chance to get across my humourous language. It was a fun assignment. 

 

Here's me at the Bourbon opening up for Austin Anderson who was on Adam Devine's House Party on Comedy Central. I write all my own jokes and material which i believe helps me a lot when writing for advertising projects.

Here's a three minute set of mine from my road trip to Chicago. It was great to scene a different scene and meet other comics. Just like advertising, comedy is all about networking. Depending on who you know, you could get gigs in certain shows. Always be nice to other comics and network. Same principles apply to advertising. I wrote all my mateiral and this set has some silly one-liners at the end. Click here to watch.
