I’m still at the Atlanta Funny Farm this Friday and Saturday, but I’m extra excited to go home to Athens, GA for this show Monday night at the Caledonia Lounge. 9pm!
“Saw this. Thought of you.” Thanks, eightbit.
I love that my friends send me real-world puns.
DONATE TO THE KICKSTARTER HERE
I perform maybe a quarter of all of my NY stand up sets at The Creek. Way more than on any other stage, I have learned how to be a comedian at The Creek. No other full time comedy venue allows the freedom and the stage time together that this venue…
I’m reblogging Nick Turner’s very well-thought-out reasons why you should support/donate to the Kickstarter for the Creek. I’d like to add that Rebecca (owner) let me book a horse for my CD release show. Not only did I not have to twist her arm, she encouraged me when I almost chickened out, and even got a carpenter to build a horse post! It’s my best personal example of The Creek going above and beyond what could possibly be expected from a comedy venue to support its shows and performers. So donate what you can, because this place is making comedy and comedians and the community better.
Hey Atlanta, I’ll be at the Funny Farm February 3rd & 4th with Trevor Williams. Tickets are on sale now!
This is tomorrow, Wednesday 1/4. I’m headlining Carolines. If you’re in NYC, please come. It’s going to be a great show. Call the Carolines box office at (212) 757-4100 for reservations. It’s only $5.
Can’t ask for a better last show of 2011 than a sold out Gentrify @ UCB East. I did 334 shows this year, and each one helped me become a better comedian. Here’s to a whole lot more in 2012.
Yes! I perform all over and keep my shows in and out of NYC updated at adamnewmancomedy.com. If you want to bring me to your city and have a contact at a club or college, send me an email at adamnewman2@gmail.com.
Here’s some advice: If you ask a random old man who doesn’t speak English to take a picture of you and your friends after a nice b-day dinner, don’t blindly trust his “thumbs up” when he hands your phone back to you.
I’m doing this great show with Myq Kaplan, Nick Vatterott and Jamie Lee on Wed 12/21 in Brooklyn. Someone tell my parents I’m being a good Jew.
Just in case no one ever told you that the Princess of Hyrule is a girl.

Adam’s Holiday Gift Guide! It’s just one item. Buy it for everyone you know at Rooftop Comedy, Amazon, or iTunes.
This is the gift message on the cheesecake I sent my parents for Thanksgiving. Thanks Junior’s Cheesecake, for letting me work blue.
My attempt at making a guitar lesson video was such a disaster, it ended up on the front page of CollegeHumor.
