I'm a stand-up comedian, actor, writer and all-around wannabe who
recently moved from NYC to San Diego! I
appeared on season six of NBC's's "Last Comic Standing" and a bunch of
other shows you never saw...
Check out my blog atwww.adamsank.blogspot.com, and watch my video clips above. if
you like what you see, call your local comedy club and tell them:
I WANT ADAM SANK IN MY TOWN!
___________________________________________ Here's what some
people are saying about me:
"The handsomest, hardest working man in the comedy biz."
HX Magazine
"San Diego just got a lot funnier."
San Diego Performer Magazine
"Adam
is really a rare find -- an incredibly funny, current and smart
comic. His humor speaks to a wide and varied demographic as he
has a true gift for connecting with his audience. It doesn’t hurt that
he’s a pleasure to work with… and look at."
John Meyers
General Manager, Comix
"Adam Sank is the nicest, funniest, brightest, young man I know. Having
him perform at my club, Danny's Upstairs on the East Coast, was the
highlight of our season. Born to be a star -- and will be. Get back
soon, Adam. I miss you!"
Danny Aiello
Academy Award-Nominated Actor
"Handsome and witty Adam Sank runs one of the best comedy shows in New
York. He's always a pleasure to work with, but I do wish he'd take my
advice and get a boyfriend named Steve. It would be perfect for his
act."
Bob Smith
First Openly Gay Comic to Appear on "The Tonight Show"
"Who is this guy, and where did he come from? Adam Sank is funny,
refreshing and very real. Mark your calendar when he comes through your
town."
Doc
MikDago Productions & Dirtbag Entertainment
"Adam Sank speaks to the individual rather than the crowd, and in doing so, wins the crowd every time. No matter who you are -- gay, straight, or homophobic -- you walk away from an Adam Sank show saying, "This guy is the real thing."
Ryan Shores
Author/Comedian
"Adam has a charm about him that makes everyone in the room pay
attention. He connects well with the audience and knows how to get the
room to laugh with him. He is on my list of comics to watch out for!"
Jason Dinant
thelaughcorner.com
"There is something precocious and adorable about Adam, and the guy is
funny too."
Shareshten Senior

"Adam Sank is a talented and very original standup. I've seen him
please audiences of every variety. Even more than please them, I've
seen him kill in most shows. He is a total professional and a pleasure
to work with."
Steve Arons
Manager & Booker, NY Comedy Club
"Some people need to do standup because they are broken children in
adult bodies crying out for attention. Adam has good reason to be like
that, but instead, he chose to be a sassy adult saying smart things
that we forgot to think of."
Georgia Ragsdale
Comic
"Even though we are frequently the source -- if not the butt -- of our
son's humor, we love him and his comedy. But how about some new
material?"
Phyllis Sank
Adam's Mother
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who enjoys stand-up comedy... and supports ending the military ban on gay men and lesbians serving proudly and openly.
