Learn About the Journey of Unique Comedy

Joe Newmar, a seasoned corporate accountant, rediscovered his passion for stand up comedy in 2018 after a 20-year hiatus. With "The Sniff" reigniting his comedic spark, Joe's talent has evolved to a world-class status, culminating in a groundbreaking performance in 2024. Married with two adult children, Joe brings wit and experience to the stage and the conference room.

Elevator Pitch

From Accounting to Comedy Sniff is an accountant turned standup comedian movie built on unconventional stand up comedy. It weaves absurdist standup, deadpan delivery, and crisp dry comedy into a seamless style that feels both original and familiar. Inspired by Steven Wright, Demetri Martin, and Steve Martin, Joe blends great jokes, entertaining props, the trusty prop fairy, and innovative comedic visuals and sporadic conference room breakouts to create a distinct act on stage and on screen. "The Sniff” delivers a mix of clean jokes and family-friendly comedy that still surprises with its clever edge. What began as a side hobby grew into a creative journey unlike any other. Viewers of Joe “The Sniff” Newmar’s standup will find a witty, sly, and unexpected style, making From Accounting to Comedy Sniff more than just an ab-crushing funny movie—it’s comedy presented in a way you haven’t seen before.

Evolution of the Prop Fairy

Just a year before the February 2024 event, Joe booked an entertainment room and started with a straightforward routine—only 3 of his 80 jokes needed props. But as the act evolved, the props took over, demanding a creative solution for on-stage chaos. After (i) a mime who couldn’t stay silent and (ii) a sword swallower with strep throat fell through, Joe struck gold with Athena 'The Prop Fairy,' a Dallas-based performer. Joe’s sharp wit and Athena’s prop mastery turned the show into a magical, unforgettable experience that left the audience spellbound.
