Biography

Kurt Braunohler is a multifaceted individual who has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry as a comedian, actor, and writer. His unconventional approach to humor is showcased in his unique projects, such as hiring a skywriter to write "How Do I Land?" in the sky over LA.

In addition to his writing and stand-up comedy, Braunohler has made appearances in various films and television shows. He was an on-set writer for Judd Apatow's feature "The Big Sick" and will appear in the upcoming Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen feature "Flarsky", for which he also served as an on-set writer.

Braunohler's television credits include a wide range of shows, including Lady Dynamite, Bob's Burgers, The New Girl, @midnight, Another Period, The Kroll Show, Drunk History, Deadbeat, Adam Ruins Everything, and Chelsea Lately. His stand-up special, "Trust Me", premiered on Comedy Central and he regularly appears on late-night talk shows such as Conan, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Seth Meyers, and The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Braunohler has received recognition for his talents, being featured in Variety's annual "10 Comics To Watch" list. He is also the co-creator and co-host of the sold-out variety show "Hot Tub" for 13 years alongside Kristen Schaal. Furthermore, Braunohler has demonstrated his adventurous spirit by jet-skying from Chicago to New Orleans once, all for charity.

Critics have praised Braunohler's unique talent and charisma, with the New York Times describing him as a "charismatic comedian with a flair for the absurd". Vice has also praised him, stating that he is "the closest thing we have to a real-life Willy Wonka". LA Weekly has further lauded him, calling him "not only a singular talent, but an inimitable spirit".
