Jared Waters: Bio, Comedy Style, and Where to Watch

Who is Jared Waters?

Jared Waters, known as “Turbo,” was born in Brunssum, the Netherlands, and grew up in Tampa, Florida, as a military brat — a background that took him around the world and gave him a unique perspective on life, culture, and the particular experience of growing up in a strict household while moving through different countries and environments. He is now based in New York City.

He performs over 1,000 shows annually, a work ethic that has made him one of New York City’s most sought-after up-and-coming comedians. His television credits include ABC’s Tamron Hall Show, Amazon Prime, SiriusXM, the AFN Network, and PBS. He performs regularly at the Comedy Cellar and across the New York club circuit including New York Comedy Club and Broadway Comedy Club.

Jared Waters’s Comedy Style

Waters is a dynamic, versatile comedian who moves comfortably between clean and edgy material depending on the room — a flexibility that comes from 1,000+ shows a year across every type of venue. His military upbringing and worldwide travel give his observational material an unusually broad frame of reference: he has genuine stories from places most New York comedians have only read about. The “Turbo” nickname reflects the energy he brings to the stage.
