It’s time to meet ADAM CAYTON-HOLLAND!

Despite being born into a white, upper-middle class family, Adam has been able to overcome the numerous non-existent hurdles that have faced him to become by far the funniest comedian on his block. He is a national touring headliner and plays clubs and colleges all over the country. He has performed on such illustrious, indie shows as Comedy Bang Bang and Meltdown in Los Angeles, as well as Whiplash and Pretty Good Friends in New York. He’s also participated in such comedy festivals as the Bentzen Ball in Washington D.C., the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland and the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, and his writing has appeared in the Onion’s A.V. Club and Spin Magazine. He’s featured in the book “Mock Stars: Indie Comedy and the Dangerously Funny,” and recently made his television debut on ABC’s “Happy Endings.” He was also recently featured on the Nerdist podcast and his monthly show and web series “The Grawlix” is a critically-lauded darling child that you should know and love ( www.grawlixcomedy.com). You should also check out his website www.adamisfreakingoutrightnow.com. Adam would do it for you.

Laugh Track: How long have you been a stand-up comic?
