About this event
Show/Doors Times
His bits often involve elaborate pranks that blur the line between reality and parody. In one of his most well-known stunts, Palmer spent months pretending to work for a social media company while communicating with former U.S. Congressman Ted Yoho, recording conversations that eventually led to Yoho admitting on tape that he had called Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a "f---ing b----" despite previously telling Congress the incident never happened.
Palmer also poses as a reporter to bait multilevel marketing executives into absurd back-and-forth exchanges that waste the time of both the executives and their lawyers, and attends scam company job interviews to expose exploitative labor practices.
More recently, his work includes creating a fake deportation reporting website that allows people to submit complaints about their neighbors, exposing prejudice and paranoia.
His live show blends stand-up comedy with digital storytelling, using real screenshots and recordings to create a fast-paced performance that mixes humor with sharp social observation.
