He started his comedy career in New York City, later moving to Chicago and Los Angeles to further his pursuits. In the mid-2000s, Holmes began making club appearances and was featured on Comedy Central’s ‘Premium Blend’ and VH1’s ‘Best Week Ever’ and ‘All Access.’ He also toured on the Christian comedy circuit and had cartoons published in ‘The New Yorker’ beginning in 2006.

The same year, Holmes launched his podcast, ‘You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes,’ which features interviews with comedians and discussions on topics including comedy, sexuality, and religion. He provided voice work for Comedy Central’s ‘Ugly Americans’ and was the voice of the E-Trade baby in several television commercials. Holmes also worked as a writer for NBC’s ‘Outsourced’ and Fox’s ‘I Hate My Teenage Daughter.’ He created and starred in the CollegeHumor internet series ‘Badman.’
