Headliner: Adam Newman
The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with James Corden, John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show, Gotham Comedy Live, and a bunch of other shows on streaming services that are now dead. I have my own Comedy Central Half Hour, and an hour special on Amazon called Fuzzies. Some people know me from back in my CollegeHumor days, and other people know me from a viral video where I pulled cocaine out of a heckler's coat. True Newmaniacs know me from appearances on HBO's Silicon Valley and Last Week Tonight, Showtime's I'm Dying Up Here, and TruTV's Adam Ruins Everything. Comedy Central named me a Comic to Watch in 2011, and I was a New Face at the Montreal Comedy Festival in 2013. They even had me back two more times to film sets for HBO Canada's Funny As Hell. I have three critically acclaimed stand-up albums - Not For Horses (2011) and Killed (2015) on Blonde Medicine Records, and Squirtacus (2019) released by 800 Pound Gorilla Records. Most importantly, I was on a dating episode of The Tyra Banks Show in 2008, which is not where I met my wife. New special coming in 2023!
