A longtime Rockland County resident, Adam has been working in comedy for longer than he cares to admit, acting, writing, directing, and producing in TV, theatre, film, and commercials.
Adam was Producing Director of Willow Cabin Theatre Co. for 12 years in New York City, producing works by the likes of William Shakespeare, Eugene O’Neill, Thornton Wilder, and David Rabe. He produced, Wilder, Wilder, Wilder, the only show in history to go from off-off Broadway to off-Broadway to Broadway in a single season, and was nominated as a Producer for Tony & Drama Desk Awards for Best Revival.
As a writer, Adam co-authored the movie, The Pompatus of Love, with Jon Cryer (Best Comedy, Worldfest-Houston), which he also co-produced and in which he starred along with Mr. Cryer and Kristen Scott Thomas, among others. Adam’s plays have been produced by Ensemble Studio Theatre, among other companies in New York, as well as in Los Angeles and regionally, and his work has been published by Dramatists Play Service. He has also penned several TV pilots, which have been produced for
Cable TV.
As an actor, Adam has appeared on Broadway, Off Broadway, in Regional Theatre, in the movies, on episodic TV, and in hundreds of TV commercial. He was nominated for a Clio Award (the Oscars of commercials) for Best Performance.
In his stand-up, Adam explores the lessons he’s learning from his wife and especially from his children, along with the adjustments that genuine adulthood are forcing upon his world view. Having lived in East Africa, India, and New Jersey, Adam is attuned to the absurdities that arise in the everyday, mining both the ironies and silliness that exist in the most humbling situations. He performs at comedy clubs all over NYC, including Broadway Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club, and Times Square Comedy, as well as at private events, corporate events, and at Temples throughout the Tri-State area.
