Overview

Hey! I'm Zach and I'm an NYC based comedian who’s been doing stand up comedy almost 13 years. I’ve worked all the clubs in the city and too many to name on the road around the country. I'm also a trained actor (Meisner Studios, Stella Adler, Upright Citizens Brigade, and also many other studios you've never heard of). I'll tell jokes at your event, I'll host your event, I'll even throw on a costume and act out a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean if you want. I'm also willing to travel because I enjoy airport restaurants immensely. Let’s do this!

Would recommend

I hired Zach to impersonate Buddy Holly for a dinner party and was not disappointed. He was great with communication prior to the event, arrived in character and on time, and was great with the guests. Would definitely recommend.

Review by Barry A.

I had quite an unusual event where Zach had to play a very specific "acting" role. Zach was extremely proactive as he followed up with me a number of times before the event to familiarize himself with the role. As the role I needed him to play was extremely sensitive and the role needed to be studied in detail, I provided Zach with as much information as I possibly could, expecting some of the facts to be forgotten.

Immediately before the event, I was extremely nervous that some of the facts and acting would not be believable. Zach arrived early, was dressed exceptionally fitting for the event, and was easily approachable, which eased my all anxiety. The night only got better. I was shocked at how much Zach had studied his new role and was extremely believable. He played the role with such authenticity and sincerity. I could not have asked for a better person to perform this role. I only hope that he will consider working with me again in the future.

What to Expect

What to expect is an awesome experience! If you're looking to laugh, I'm your guy. I perform every night at comedy clubs in NYC. As well as special events ranging from colleges, weddings, barmitzvahs, fire houses, corporate team meetings, all the way down to a sweet 16 birthday party!

If you're looking for an actor, I'm still your guy! I'm a Meisner trained actor with many projects under my belt including 4 national commercials and and various film projects.

If you're looking for an event host, you guessed it...I'm your guy! I've hosted many events. I've done week long trade shows for Crest, Sony, and Netflix. As well as a live Q and A for the show Orange is the New Black. Also, I was the warm up comedian/ pre-show host for a nationally syndicated TV show for it's 3 year run.

So let's work together already!!
