Tim Warner is a stand-up comedian and the host of The Joker and the Rye, a live Comedy show built on real thoughts, flawed execution, and uncomfortable truths.
His Comedy comes from a simple place: it’s difficult being human, and pretending otherwise is exhausting. Warner doesn’t look away from that tension—he walks straight into it, pulling humor from vulnerability, contradiction, and the quiet absurdities of everyday life.
Often described as an antihero, Warner’s work favors honesty over polish. Rather than creating distance from failure, addiction, or uncertainty, he brings them into the light—using comedy as a way to examine what we all try to hide. The result is stand-up that’s sharp, personal, and grounded in lived experience.
Warner has appeared multiple times on the Kill Tony podcast, including a standout performance in front of Joe Rogan that has surpassed 1.5 million views. He was also a finalist in Montreal’s Just For Laughs: New Faces (Unrepped) before the pandemic reshaped the Comedy landscape.
Today, Warner performs, writes, and livestreams from Austin, Texas, continuing to rebuild in public—one set, one show, and one honest laugh at a time.
