Joe Stapleton has been on top of the poker commentator list for many years. Often a polarizing character, he is known for his sometimes below the belt jokes on air and very much so below the belt humour as a stand-up comedian.

In this interview we talk about his thoughts on online poker commentary and the current state of stand-up comedy.

Chaar-Lee discovered poker over 20 years ago, starting with fixed-limit games before embracing the rise of No-Limit Hold’em across cash games, STTs, and MTTs. In the early days, he and his circle sometimes played more than 40 different formats in a single night. He organized the first poker camp in his region and has contributed poker technology to several televised shows. Today, he supports the SOMUCHPOKER team from the tech side, blending two decades of poker passion with technical expertise.
