Introduction
As seen & heard on, "THE DAILY SHOW WITH TREVOR NOAH," FOXWOODS RESORT & CASINO, GOTHAM COMEDY CLUB in NYC, and SIRIUS XM RADIO'S "RAW DOG COMEDY." Hi. Thanks for checking out my profile. I get a huge kick out of what I do. I hope you will too. In my Stand-Up, I explore the lessons in humility I'm learning from my wife and especially from my kids. Also how trying to be a grown-up, and starting to get old, have forced me to grow and change. I try to be tuned in to the ironies and silliness that that arise in the most humbling situations. (I'm getting lots of chances to practice.) Please check out my videos and sample my new album, "Aged Whine," posted in my profile & on my Website; playing now on Raw Dog Comedy, SiriusXM 99. Or you can call or email me, and I'll send you clips. My material includes lots of stuff about love, marriage, family, having kids, being a parent, a husband, dealing with aging parents, raising toddlers and teenage daughters, and financing kids' college educations...all while trying to keep a sense of humor about how we change and evolve as we age. Also, I'll be happy to spend time on the phone learning about your event so I can write material specifically for you and for your guests. The comedy can be G-rated to R-rated, whatever you want! I've been working in comedy for longer than I want to admit. (35 years--oops, I admitted it!) Not just in Stand-Up but also in acting, writing, directing, and producing for TV, theatre, film, and commercials. I've recently opened for such comedy legends and luminaries as Robert Klein, Colin Quinn, Gilbert Gottfried, and Larry Miller. I perform at comedy clubs all over New York City and the surrounding area, including regularly at Gotham Comedy Club, at Levity Live, Comic Strip Live, Foxwoods Resort & Casino, Dangerfield's, Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Greenwich Village Comedy Club, and Treehouse Comedy. Also at colleges, corporate & private events, synagogues, theatres, and JCCs throughout the Northeast. ***** Thumbtack Top Pro 2024 (10th consecutive year)! ***** Thumbtack #1 Comic for Hire in NY (Top Pro!): 2015-'23. ***** Hired 212 times on Thumbtack. (Compare!) ***** 106 Reviews. (Lots of happy people laughing.) ***** Nominated: Tony® Award (The Oscars of Broadway) & Clio Award (Oscars of Commercials).

Adam and his team of comics were outstanding. We had 100 people at the venue for a charity fundraiser. Adam was very responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun night of comedy.

We had Adam for our son’s 26th birthday party in a tiny Georgian restaurant in NYC and he was great! He read the room well among his friends and other diners and came up with some great content that generated a lot of laughs! Adam made it a special night practicing his seasoned craft of comedy!

My wife and I hired Adam to "officiate" our 25 year vow renewal on 11/18/23. We consulted with him a couple of times prior to the event so that he could get to know us and our family. We were the only ones in attendance who knew he was not a real marriage officiant. He came nicely dressed in a suit and tie and played the part perfectly. Boy were they all surprised when he launched into his comedic routine tailored for this ceremony. His original material on marriage, family and relationships was off the charts hilarious! His incorporation of the humor associated with us, our marriage and our children was comedy genius! Adam had our guests laughing in tears! He kicked off our event with e bang! We cannot thank Adam enough for his performance. We would highly recommend him for any event.
