In conversation with Jeremy Dobski

In conversation with Jeremy Dobski

Comedian and writer Jeremy Dobski loves to make people laugh. He has brought his well-crafted jokes and kinetic delivery to stages across Canada and the US, spreading the joy of human connection with him everywhere he goes. That joy of connection is also captured in his 2024 special Love Language. Jeremy will be playing his last shows of the year across Ontario and Michigan starting later this month.

Last month, Jeremy joined forces once again with longtime friend and collaborator comedian (and founder of Punx Can't Laugh) Gabe Koury to co-produce the second Punx Can’t Laugh Fest in Toronto. This year’s festival saw them expand to four days, which featured five shows jam-packed with hilarious comedians and rocking punk bands. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with Jeremy to talk about this year’s Punx Can’t Laugh Fest, throwing shows on a pirate ship, incorporating storytelling into stand-up thanks to his animated show Para-Legal, and so much more. Read the interview below!

This interview between Em Moore and Jeremy Dobski took place over Zoom on November 5, 2025. What follows is a transcription of their conversation that has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
