Justin Martindale: Bio, Comedy Style, and Where to Watch

Who is Justin Martindale?

Justin Martindale is an LA-based stand-up comedian and writer whose sharp wit and high-energy performance style have earned him a loyal following across television, streaming, and the live comedy circuit. A natural entertainer with a background spanning writing rooms and variety stages, Justin has become one of the more versatile voices working in comedy today.

He first gained wide recognition as a writer for the iconic Joan Rivers television series Fashion Police on E! Network — a room that demanded precision, speed, and the ability to land a joke with surgical timing. That experience shaped his sensibility: direct, confident, and never afraid to go for it.

Justin also served as a judge on E! Network’s The Funny Dance Show and appeared as a performer on MTV’s Acting Out, demonstrating range across formats that few comedians manage to navigate simultaneously. His most prominent project to date is co-writing and performing in Huluween Dragstravaganza, a Halloween-themed variety special on Hulu, where he shared the stage with some of the most flamboyant and fearless performers in entertainment.

Outside of television, Justin hosts the podcast Just Sayin’, a platform where his personality gets to breathe without edit or format constraints — honest, funny, and entirely himself.

Justin Martindale’s Comedy Style

Justin’s comedy is built on confidence. He has the performer’s quality of making a room feel like they’re in on something, not being talked at. His time in professional writing rooms means his jokes are constructed — there’s architecture underneath the delivery, even when it looks effortless. The result is stand-up that feels both smart and accessible, the kind that plays well in a room like the Comedy Cellar, where the audience expects craft.

His TV and variety background gives him a theatrical awareness that many stand-ups lack. He knows how to use a stage, how to read a room, and when to pull back versus lean in. That instinct is what separates a comedian who has worked across formats from someone who has only ever done clubs.
