Sam Adams Clean Comedian from Parker, CO

Hi everyone! I'm Sam Adams, the award-winning sports journalist-turned-standup comedian, keynote speaker, author, commercial actor and Master of Ceremonies. Fourteen times I've received The Bash/GigMasters "Best Of" award, which is based on the number of four-star or higher reviews a performer receives each year. In 2015 the site awarded me its coveted "Rising Star" award for being the top-booked comedian! I made standup comedy my full-time profession at age 49. The decision came in June 2009, after winning prizes at the Great American Comedy Festival. I'm best known for the “True Color” video clip from my first Dry Bar Comedy special. The clip received more than 10 million social media views in less than 72 hours, and currently stands at more than 35 million views on Facebook alone.   Before comedy, I spent parts of five decades covering sports for newspapers and electronic media outlets based in Denver, Colorado.  My media peers elected me Colorado’s Print Journalist of the Year in 2003. In 2019 I became the first African-American sports journalist to be inducted to the Denver Press Club’s Hall of Fame — the oldest press club in America. So now you know a little more about me, Sam Adams . . . from the pages to the stages. I hope to entertain for your event!
