BIO
NYC-based stand-up comedian, podcaster, and public speaker with a delivery all his own.
Jordon Ferber started his stand-up comedy career in 1999 at the age of 21. While majoring in Film at Occidental College he became a regular host at The Garage in Los Angeles. For the next two years he honed his skills and ultimately decided to pursue stand-up in the big city, moving back to New York in 2001.
As a native New Yorker, he had no trouble getting on the circuit, and has since performed in almost every club in Manhattan, including Carolines, the Gotham Comedy club and Madison Square Garden. His unique delivery and ironic take on life is always funny, and has made him a favorite on the NY scene.
He is the producer of a weekly stand up comedy showcase called Straight Up Stand Up at the all new Zinc Bar in the West Village. He has been seen on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, NBC’s The Restaurant and is a regular on The Joey Reynolds Show on WOR.
He’s the host and producer of the podcast “Where’s the Grief?” — a show that finds the funny in loss without ever pretending it doesn’t hurt. It’s become the clearest expression of what he does on stage, too.
On screen, he has appeared on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Travel Channel’s Mysteries at the Museum.
He was featured in the 2006 New York Underground Comedy Festival’s Emerging Comics Contest. In his spare time, he enjoys writing short blurbs about himself in the third person. He has been a member of The Friars Club for the past three years.

In memory of Russell
On July 6, 2002, Jordon’s only brother Russell Ferber tragically died in a car accident at the age of 21, just as he was about to graduate with a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, NY.
A year later, The Russell Ferber Foundation was founded to provide a living legacy – funding programs that assist young people who lack the financial resources to successfully follow a path that parallels aspects of Russell’s too short life.
The Annual Benefit Show
Every year Jordon produces a comedy benefit show for the foundation — a night of stand-up where the whole room is in on the reason.
CIA Scholarships
Proceeds go directly to scholarships at the Culinary Institute of America, supporting students building a life in kitchens.
Shows, benefits, corporate nights, podcasts — if there’s a mic, he’ll take it.
