In a 2012 phone interview, Barinholtz said he was inspired to pursue a career in comedy after attending a comedy show at The Vic Theatre.[1] Thereafter, he took comedy classes at The Second City, ImprovOlympic and Annoyance Theatre.[5] He had planned on becoming a politician[3] but decided to move to Los Angeles, California, to be an actor instead.

Barinholtz spent two years in Amsterdam with the famed comedy troupe Boom Chicago, along with Jordan Peele, Josh Meyers and Nicole Parker.
