Will Abeles

Known to be able to work both blue and clean material, Will is a multi-faceted storyteller comic and builds his set around the observations of his "every day" life. Having worked as a stand-up comedian for well over a decade as well as gaining experience in comedy at Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show with David Letterman in Los Angeles and New York, respectively, Will has had a long and influential career. A true road dog, Will's worked every room and club you can imagine from a wedding in the woods in Connecticut to a saloon a mile from the border in Marfa, Texas. He truly has an understanding for various markets and what that requires from him as a comic.

“There are a lot of great things to be said about Will Abeles, but my favorite thing is that he’s a realist. He lives in the present, laughs at the past and tries not to focus too hard on the future.” – Stellar Underground
