Introduction: As seen on, "THE DAILY SHOW WITH TREVOR NOAH," at FOXWOODS RESORT & CASINO, at GOTHAM COMEDY CLUB in NYC. As heard on 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 2023 (9th consecutive year)! ***** Thumbtack #1 Comic for Hire in NY (Top Pro!): 2015-'23. ***** Hired 183 times on Thumbtack.

Adam was a great addition to a birthday party!! He took time to learn about the guests and added a customized touch to his routine. We couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone looking for a comedian to provide entertainment.

"I recently had Adam come to my house to perform for a retirement celebration for my brother-in-law's. I was blown away by his performance. I spoke with Adam about a week before the party and I provide him with some background information on my brother-in-law and our family. He arrived a little early and met some members of the family. When he performed, his comedic timing was impeccable and he had my family in stitches from start to finish. He was able to connect with my family and they bantered with him during his performance and he went right along and never missed a beat. His material was clever, relatable and he had a great balance of observational and self-deprecating humor. I would highly recommend using Adam for a comedic event and I hope to see him perform publicly someday soon."

Hilarious, talented and original! Adam really went above and beyond! Had such a memorable night! Very happy with our choice to hire Adam for our micro wedding! Had us laughing the whole time! Loved the personalized material as well, appreciate that he took the time to get to know us beforehand to include original jokes just for us! Thank you!

I was looking for a comedian to roast my husband for his 40th birthday, while also blending in their own jokes. Adam was the perfect choice! Adam touched on marriage, getting old and having kids, which was perfect for this type of setting. He took the time to call me and my husband’s friends to get the content he needed to be personal and successful. He had everyone laughing the whole time. Bonus points for performing on our rooftop when it was a very chilly night!
