Well the story of this kid begins in a small little suburb of Washington State called Lake Forest Park. It was there Adam ate a lot of shit food, and became what is known in today’s society as a "fat kid." When the time grew near that Adam would have to sit into a suit for his Bar Mitzvah, he cut the shit, lost those childhood tits and grew up to be a man. Comedy has always been a part of his life, ever since he had the balls to put a whoopi cushion under his 6 foot 3, 3rd grade teacher Mr. Burger. He was scolded, and pissed a bit in his pants.
After graduating from USC in LA with a BFA in acting, Adam has hit comedy clubs all over. Beginning in Seattle, and hitting London, NY, Micronesia, Utah, Calgary, and Los Angeles.
His sketch show pilot "AdamRayTV" took home viewer’s choice for best new pilot at the 2007 ITVfest in LA. And you can now see all his new comedy sketches on adamraytv.com!!
And if you’re a fan of music, he suggests you make your way over to ITUNES and pick up a copy of his comedy song cd, "In Your Boobs." It’s filled with some of the silliest tunes you’ll ever hear.

TV Shows
*ABC’S "According to Jim" - the episode taped this past Sept, and should be airing soon
*MTV’s "Human Giant,"
*I went to a taping of one of the million dollar episodes of The Price is Right, and ran on stage pretending to be friends with the guy who had won. He was some big black dude named Derowne, and I celebrated with him and his african american friends as if we’d been buddies for years. I clearly did not fit in, but he had won a ton of great prizes, so when I hugged him, he just laughed. Then I sat in his escalade and waved to the camera.
Films
I was in the prom scene in "Ten Things I Hate About You." yup. Pretty sweet. You can see me like 5 times. I was 14. And it was a big deal. So big in fact they gave us free pizza and $100. The pizza was terrible.

About me: People intrigue me. The things we do, and the things we are capable of doing without even knowing, fascinates me. And even the greatest of people can do the stupidest and strangest of things. Oprah for example. She's wonderful. She is generous, and she makes people feel good. However, I'm sure at some point in her life, she too has blamed someone else for a nasty, wet, fart from her ass.
And hey, if you haven't already picked one up, go to ITUNES and get a copy of my comedy album, "IN YOUR BOOBS." It's all songs, think Adam Sandler meets Dave Matthews, with that fun, crazy style of Tenacious D.
Who I'd like to meet: Dave Chappelle, Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, the guy someone who's been abducted by an alien. What great stories they must have.
I thought I was having a bad time being up this late, But i see you up and I figure, if a Dude like you (Bazzillionair in the making) is up this late in the middle of the week. I Must Be on the right track eh?
