About
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.

Adam Oliensis was absolutely fantastic at the Friedman JCC! From the moment he took the stage, he connected effortlessly with our audience, tailoring his humor in a way that truly resonated with everyone in the room. His ability to read the crowd and respond in the moment made the evening feel personal, engaging, and nonstop funny. Beyond his talent on stage, Adam was incredibly responsive, professional, and courteous throughout the entire process. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We loved having him at the Friedman JCC and would welcome him back anytime. Highly recommend!

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!
