NEW YORK – Joseph Neibich, also known professionally as Joseph Nybyk, is a multifaceted talent with a wide-ranging background in Hollywood’s creative and business spheres. Since moving to Los Angeles in 1997, he has worked behind the scenes at Paramount Pictures in the marketing department and as a creative executive at Landmark Entertainment—initially under the direction of James Cameron on Terminator 2 3-D: Battle Across Time, and later under Michael Jackson after the pop icon acquired the company. In 1998, Neibich transitioned into performance, landing a small role in Jerry Maguire. That move launched a successful career that included over 20 national commercials and roles in various film and television productions. Around the same time, he discovered a passion for stand-up comedy. Drawing from his experiences bartending at the iconic Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel, Neibich developed a sharp and hilarious routine filled with celebrity encounters, which he has since performed at clubs and colleges across the country. A graduate of Sewanee: The University of the South, where he earned a degree in political theory and pre-law, Neibich is also a Gilbert, Arizona native and a former University of Arizona attendee. He began his comedy journey working the door at the legendary Comedy Store in Hollywood, a position held by many of the greats, and a formative experience that gave him firsthand exposure to comedic masters like Joe Rogan, Jay Leno, Andrew Dice Clay, and Richard Pryor. As a stand-up comedian, Neibich has built a national following, performing at casinos, clubs, cruises, corporate events, and colleges. He has served as house emcee at major venues including Laffs Comedy Caffé, the Laugh Factory, Stand Up Scottsdale, and the Comedy Spot in Scottsdale. In 2025, he was named “Best Comedian” by Tucson Weekly.
