JR De Guzman

Born in the Philippines and raised in California, JR De Guzman began performing comedy while working as a music teacher, which he quickly learned just meant teaching Taylor Swift songs to teenagers. He has entertained all over the world, having performed for Stand-Up Tokyo and ROR Comedy in Japan, the Jokers Ball in Indonesia, the Badaboom Comedy Series in Amsterdam, and countless other international shows. JR was the winner of Stand-up NBC in 2016, named as a prestigious "New Face" at Just for Laughs 2017, one of Variety's Ten Comics to Watch in 2022, and one of Billboard’s Top 10 Musical Comics in 2025. His quarter hour special on The Comedy Lineup is streaming on Netflix, and his debut hour special "I'm Your Son, Papa" is now available on YouTube. Catch him on tour in a city near you!
