Do not confuse him for being the guy on the beer bottle label, OK? This Sam Adams stepped in front of a microphone to perform stand-up comedy for the first time at age 41. Eight years later, the former award-winning sports journalist changed careers after winning at the Great American Comedy Festival.

On the record, Sam Adams is a club and corporate event headliner who has performed on stages in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Boston and New York, as well as fabled Colorado venues Red Rocks Amphitheater and Paramount Theater. He's also shared stage time with an eclectic, genre-jumping list of national touring comedians and music recording artists. Denver Business Journal once gave him a favorable review for bringing down the house with a string of well-delivered lines that were notable for their lack of profanity, scatological or sexual references. (Sam was pleased by the review  especially after learning the definition of scatological!)

Off the record, Sam Adams left his job as an office clerk to pursue work as a sports writer. During a career that lasted 23 years, he established himself as one of Denver's premier sports journalists - voted by his peers as Colorado's Print Journalist of the Year in 2003. His work has appeared in print and video for The Denver Post, The Charlotte Observer, Rocky Mountain News and AvidGolfer magazine. His resume includes television appearances on ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS and NFL Network.

Smooth. Clever. Clean. Colorful. Hilarious. These words are often used to describe Sam Adams on stage. He gives a performance you do not want to miss!
