He presents himself as someone who is challenged by everyday experiences, but able to draw the humour out of simple mishaps.<ref name = encyclocentral>Encyclocentral. [http://www.encyclocentral.com/18278-Jeremy_Hotz_Gemini_Award_Winning_Actor.html Jeremy Hotz Gemini Award Winning Actor].</ref> He often begins a comedy piece with a statement of how miserable or upsetting a place or thing is: "I moved to LA, what a miserable place that is...". He is recognizable by his characteristic of using his right hand to stifle his own laughter whenever he delivers a punch line, stands in an odd posture or complains about everyday situations. Hotz also uses the audience members or city as a theme and often associates them with improvised jokes.
