Quotes about Joe Zimmerman from other comedians:

Nate Bargatze in The Interrobang: “My pick for breakout comedian of the year is Joe Zimmerman. I am a huge fan of Joe. Unbelievably funny. It’s his time. He’s going to make some noise.”

John Mulaney in Vulture: “I would hook, line, and sinker steal this bit where Joe Zimmerman just takes you through true facts of Andrew Jackson’s life and then has the best jokes about them. I’ve listened to it on YouTube like a hundred times. I have fantasies sometimes about doing it.... I just love it. I was like, Oh, that’s so funny to take an audience through real facts about Andrew Jackson, who’s on no one’s mind... and it destroys. That is my absolute grand envy. I want that joke so bad.”

Bert Kreisher on The Bertcast: “Dude, Joe Zimmerman is very [expletive] funny, very [expletive] funny.”

Maria Bamford on Twitter: “Great comic alert! Great writing and timing!”
