John F. O'Donnell (JFOD) is a national headlining comedian and writer with over 20 years of experience, known for using comedy to destigmatize mental illness by drawing from his own journey with Bipolar 1 Disorder.

He is the co-creator and host of "50 First Jokes", an 8-city hit show, and runs "Live From Outer Space", a long-running weekly Friday night show at Cobra Club in NYC.

John created a one-man show called "I'm On Lithium", about a manic episode in Dublin, which is equal parts funny, vulnerable, insightful, and redemptive.

He has headlined internationally, including at the prestigious English Theatre Berlin, and has appeared as a political correspondent on "Redacted Tonight."
