Jojo Casillas is not your typical comic. Born on 4th of July, it is no surprise that this comedian lights the stage up with his stand-up comedy. At 7 years old, his family moved to Fort Myers, Florida from his birthplace, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Growing up, JoJo’s father nicknamed him “Mr. Funny Guy” as he was always the one to make everyone laugh. He did not realize he would enjoy making a career out of entertaining until he was asked to do an open mic night as a favor to his cousin and loved how he made the crowd react. Being hit with the laugher for the first time he became instantly hooked and knew he was meant for the stage. In 2017 Jojo met N.O.R.E, one of his favorite media personalities, and that experience gave him the drive to continue doing comedy on a more professional level and started hitting every and any mics he could find. After about a year of consistency JoJo’s raw and authentic stand up has gone on to win comedy competitions at Visani’s Restaurant and Theater in Port Charlotte, McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre in Sarasota, Snappers comedy club Fort Myers, and is also the winner of Louisville’s Funniest and Blue Ridges funniest in Bristol TN.
