The Kerri Edelman Show presents Comedian J-L Cauvin

In February 2003, halfway through his second year at Georgetown University Law Center, J-L Cauvin went to a bar near his apartment and watched an amateur showcase of comedians. J-L began inquiring how he could get some stage time and after following some leads he began performing at open mics at the end of that academic year. Quickly developing a knack for it, J-L was named Washington D.C.’s funniest college student, despite not really being a college student, in March 2004 at a sold out show at the D.C. Improv. After moving back to his native New York upon graduation from GULC in May 2004, J-L continued to work harder and harder as a comic, all while working as an Assistant District Attorney during the day in the Bronx and later as a litigator at Blank Rome LLP. He has received multiple invitations to the Boston Comedy Festival, traveled the country as a feature act and was featured on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and NESN’s Comedy All Stars. His act is as diverse as his Haitian and Irish family and touches upon topics ranging from current events to relationship troubles to several dead-on impressions, including Barack Obama. J-L’s has released three CDs, 2006’s Racial Chameleon, 2008’s Diamond Maker and 2012's Too Big To Fail. He has also been featured in the book The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Jokes.  In 2011, he helped found, Comedians At Law, a nationally touring group of lawyers-turned-stand up comedians.  For more information, visit www.jlcauvin.com and follow him @JLCauvin.
