The New York Times has praised his grounded observational style, and also singled out his earlier hour, The Salesman, for turning peanut butter jokes into the sort of signature material fans associate with Pop-Tarts or Hot Pockets. Audiences may recognize Warren from Where The Field Corn Grows on Amazon Prime, Dry Bar Comedy’s Fish Sandwich, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show, and Comedy Central Presents. He is a frequent presence on SiriusXM and on the Bob & Tom Show with his recurring segment The Warren Report, and he has appeared on podcasts including Nateland, Never Not Funny, Bertcast, Dumb People Town, and The Adam Carolla Show. A former All-American wrestler who once sold Jif and Pringles for Procter & Gamble, he often weaves those chapters of his life into quick, relatable stories onstage.
