ajfinney.comBio
Burning across the comedy scene like a manic tornado, AJ Finney shows no signs of slowing down. Picked as a finalist in HBO's Lucky 21 competition, he earned himself a spot at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. He was the third place winner of Trial By Laughter, and a semifinalist at the 31st annual Seattle International Comedy Competition. Using life experiences with an interesting twist on alternative culture, AJ finds humor in even the most sensitive of subjects. His uncanny logic and explosive presence is unforgettable.
