Alex Forstenhausler
Overview
I'm a comedian, looking to perform at private parties, banquets, or anywhere accessible to making people laugh. I specialize in writing and performing personalized jokes and roasts. I have performed at the Friars Club, Broadway Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club, UCB, and opened for Creed Bratton from NBC's "The Office" at Webster Hall. I have extensive experience writing for celebrity roasts, including the roasts of Dennis Rodman, Boomer Esiason, and Padma Lakshmi. I've roasted Ricky Schroder and produced the Survivor Roast of Rob Cesternino at the Hollywood Improv. I am also a proud member of the NY Friars Club.
