The Jerky Boys

The Jerky Boys are an American comedy act from Queens, New York whose routine consisted of prank telephone calls and other related skits. The duo was founded in 1989 by childhood friends Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed. Their debut effort was the best-selling comedy album of 1993. Their second album, Jerky Boys 2, was released in 1994. The Jerky Boys Movie arrived in theaters the following year. After Ahmed left the act in 2000, the Jerky Boys continued on as a solo act featuring only Brennan, before going on a 19-year hiatus after the 2001 release of the franchise's penultimate album, The Jerky Tapes. Brennan released a follow-up album of new material in November 2020. You can find their original material in social media compilations and various user-generated content around the world, as their unique style of improv and comedy has only led to their fanbase to grow over the last three decades.
