JP Sears
JP Sears is famous on YouTube as a comedian who travels worldwide and helps people heal emotionally. He is known for making fun of veganism, gluten-free fads, and other new-age beliefs through satire. Millions of people have watched his funny videos.
From his first impressions, it looks dicey to take him seriously, as he adds humor to the things that are most important to him.
Early Life
JP Sears was born on 12 April 1981. His online biography says he grew up in Northwestern Ohio and moved to California when he was 23. He has moved from city to city since then.
His mother was Catholic, and his father was an atheist. His mother tried to raise her children as Catholics to make her parents happy, but it didn't work out. JP also has a sister he had to take care of from a young age when their parents broke up.
Career
In 2004, Sears moved from Ohio to San Diego, California, to start working as a professional life coach. Before he went on YouTube, Sears ran the website holistichealthandfitness.com, which had links to supplements and the website of Joseph Mercola, who supports alternative medicine. In 2013, he started posting videos on YouTube that advised on new-age topics.
In 2014, Sears moved to Charleston, South Carolina. After that, he changed the tone of his life coaching videos from serious to funny. In 2015, his YouTube video, "How to Become Gluten Intolerant," got much attention.
Sears has said he doesn't want to be called "sincere" or "funny." He says that he is both and that the question is like asking, "Do you have a right hand or a left hand?" Sears says that his parodies are based on parts of his own life.
Australia's ABC News said that Sears is one of "a growing number of comedians making fun of trendy gluten-free and grain-free diets."
To tape an episode of CBC Radio's "Early Edition," Sears took Samantha Garvey on a tour of Vancouver's "most spiritually hot locales" in March of 2017.
In 2018, Sears made a video roast about New Jersey, and in the same year, they made a similar video roast about Boulder. Westword called the video roast about Boulder "hilarious." Sears thought "about running his dog, Zephyr, for mayor." Sears, though, "could always run for mayor in Zephyr's place, especially given his considerable public reputation," as columnist Michael Roberts wrote.
