2013 Comic of the Year: Adam Grabowski

About

As the highest rated comedian in Campus Activities Magazine and winner of the 2012 Fastest Rising Star award, Adam Grabowski made history in 2013 by becoming the youngest comedian ever to win COMIC OF THE YEAR!

The creativity and charisma of this25-year-old from Chicago makes him the most exciting new act to hit the circuit! Graduating early from the University of Illinois with a degree in Psychology, Adam used his productive procrastination skills to put off grad school by becoming a professional comedian. Adam performed at 120 colleges this year, putting his total at over 240 colleges in his career. His tour has taken him to 33 different states including stints at the Iowa Comedy Festival and L.A. Comedy Fest.

"Two parts Seinfeld, one part Demetri Martin, a tablespoon of Gaffigan, and a pinch of secret ingredient, Adam Grabowski's style is hard to define, but can be characterized in one word.... Hilarious!"

A NOTE FROM ADAM:
“I pride myself on not being sexist, racist, or stereotypical in my humor. My job as a comedian is to get you to look at your world in a different, more hilarious way. I love working comprehensively with people to ensure the best possible show for each and every audience and venue. I'm very open to ideas and am willing to take on random, interesting, and unique projects.
Thank you for your time and consideration!”


QUOTES FROM SATISFIED CUSTOMERS:

"The audience loved him! He used the college's environment and characteristics to mold a comic experience that our students could truly relate and connect to. Excellent, simply excellent."

-Elijah Redding / Director of Programming / Western State College of Colorado


"The show was AWESOME! We had a packed house and students standing in the back. I had watched about all of his clips, and he still had plenty of new jokes. The crowd was dying laughing and I myself was actually crying he was so funny."

-Micah Hudson / President: Campus Programming / Otterbein University


"Adam Grabowski is a legitimate 'college comedian'... He's a hilarious up-and-comer in the world of comedy, with observations, metaphors, diagrams, and one-liners particularly relatable or meaningful to a college audience."

-Tyler Snodgrass / Executive Comedy Chair: Student Activities Council / Missouri State University

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 50 - 75 minutes

My comedy covers anything and everything: from interactions with drunks to texting to The Little Mermaid and back again.

I've done a number of unconventional shows: surprise parties, dinner parties, bachelorette parties, bars, coffeehouses, outdoors, schools, theaters.... any sort of private or public event sounds good to me! I've performed for all ages and demographics.

I'm very open to ideas and love helping to create the best show possible for each particular venue... be it generating posters to help with advertising or rearranging the room, I want to make each and every show an enjoyable, successful experience!

Stage/Setup Requirements:
mic, mic stand, audience...... I'm low maintenance.
