Bio
Charlie Kojis has been performing stand-up comedy since 2014, during which time he has been described as “this generation’s Charlie Kojis.” Combining his life experiences and general fears, Charlie blends traditional joke telling with his own personal narrative. His dry delivery leaves audiences both laughing and wondering if he is as okay as he pretends to be. Based in Madison WI, Charlie performs throughout the Midwest and has performed in the Flyover, Limestone, and 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festivals, among others. He has opened for comedians who include Tig Notaro, Nate Bargatze, and Michael Che and was the winner of Madison's Funniest Comic Competition at Comedy on State in 2016. He released his debut comedy album and special, A Normal Amount of Pain, in May 2023.

Tone Madison’s musical odds and ends of 2023:
“Kojis’ wry observations about seemingly mundane moments and masterful command of pace allow A Normal Amount Of Pain to operate in a cadence that doesn’t feel too dissimilar from an expert jazz quartet working the room. We haven’t touched on stand-up comedy as a medium here at Tone Madison with much frequency, but A Normal Amount Of Pain is so well-calibrated that it might legitimately change that trajectory going forward.”
