Bio

Joe Lavin is the nom de plume of Boston-based freelance writer and humorist Joe Lavin. Having grown up in "bucolic" central Massachusetts, Lavin now lives in Somerville, MA, after previous stints in St.Louis, London, New York, and Los Angeles. By day, he works as an administrator at an obscure university. By night, he skewers pop culture, sports, politics, technology, and his own occasional ineptitude.

Lavin has been publishing an online humor column since November 1995. He is the author of But I Digress and was featured in May Contain Nuts: A Very Loose Canon of American Humor, the third volume in the Mirth of a Nation series.

His work has also appeared in several publications, including:

The Boston Globe
Slate
Salon
WBUR Radio
The Globe and Mail
McSweeney's
Might
The Boston Herald
The Boston Phoenix
The Christian Science Monitor
The Montreal Gazette
Boston Sports Review
San Diego Computoredge
California Technology News
The Denver Post
Worcester Magazine
The Worcester Telegram
BBC Radio's WeekEnding
