Finding himself in an otherworldly situation, Jolles knows that if the government is keeping aliens from us, it's with good reason. The solo stand-up show, blending observational comedy and absurdist humor, ponders what makes humanity worth saving?

Additional credits include spots on Ramy (Hulu), Corporate (Comedy Central), Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun (Netflix), and Ted (Peacock). In the performing space, in 2021 Jolles released his debut stand-up special titled Danny Jolles: Six Parts, which was recognized as one of the Best Comedy Specials of 2021 by The New York Times, Paste Magazine’s Top 10, and Interrobang’s Top 11. In 2022 Jolles released You Choose: An Interactive Comedy Special, an interactive stand-up special titled that garnered rave reviews from Forbes, Vulture, and The New York Times.
Jolles, who has done a live comedy show almost every night of his adult life, has appeared in the Laughing Skull Festival and San Francisco Sketchfest, among numerous other engagements. As a sketch comedian, Jolles’ sketch groups Chess Club Comedy and Sasquatch Sketch have garnered millions of views online. His sketches have been featured on Tosh.0, MTV, and Funny or Die.
