Since then, Jonah has been making a name for himself on the hot alternative comedy scene of LA, becoming a frequent sketch and stand-up performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, as well as being a recurring sketch performer for several Comedy Central shows ("Crossballs", "Last Laugh") and for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Fans of Jonah's include Bart Coleman of Comedy Central, and comedy geniuses like Laura Kightlinger and Sarah Silverman, who cast Jonah in the pilot for her upcoming Comedy Central series, "The Sarah Silverman Show.
