Comedian. Philosopher. Friend.

Jordan Temple is a New York City born, N.Y. based, multi-hyphenate comedian-playwright-writer-standup-actor who grew up in the projects peeing in the staircase and also the elevator.

Jordan is a stand up comedian, playwright, and TV Writer who’s credits include: ‘Abbott Elementary’, Atlanta’, ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’, ‘Mythic Quest’, ‘Teenage Euthanasia’, among others.

In August 2024, Jordan released ‘Father Of None’ a short documentary about his vasectomy he got in 2023. It was produced by himself and Tim Robinson (Netflix’s ‘I Think You Should Leave’, ‘Detroiters’) and directed by Mekki Leeper (St. Denis Hospital’). ‘Father Of None’ is a personal project for Jordan as he made the decision that he didn’t want to have children and was dealing with the loss of his own father in 2022.

‘Father Of None’ is a one of a kind documentary. Vulnerable, imaginative, absurd and funny while tackling the complex issues of birth control and grief in the prime of his life.

On the stand up front, he taped a set for Comedy Central Stand Up Featuring, a digital series showcase for new talent. He also taped a set for Bill Burr Presents, a new televised showcase for Comedy Central hosted by the great Bill Burr which aired in January 2020.

In 2018, Jordan was named a "New Face" of comedy at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal (wow, just look at that punim!) and also made his late-night stand up debut on CONAN.

Jordan is the mastermind behind the original comedic play, ‘Hidden Fences’, a hilarious, absurdist take on the viral mistake made at the 2017 Golden Globes and Academy Awards that combined the movies, Hidden Figures and Fences into 'Hidden Fences'. Hidden Fences satirizes the mistake in which 'Troy' from Fences wants to be the first black man to hit a baseball into space and the hidden figures do the math to help get it there. The play sold out four times and was staged at The Bell House for New York Comedy Festival. In June 2018 Hidden Fences made it's L.A. debut at The Dynasty Typewriter at Hayworth Theatre, starring and produced by Jermaine Fowler. In addition to writing the play, Jordan also plays an unhinged, comedic version of the Denzel Washington role, ‘Troy’.

In October of 2017, he staged his follow up to Hidden Fences, an absurdist, one-act play entitled ‘The Color Urkel’ that loosely combines the narrative of The Color Purple with the characters Steve Urkel and Stefon Urquelle. In November 2018, ‘The Color Urkel’ also made it’s New York Comedy Festival debut.
