Press Kit - Sam Weber
Sam Weber is a fresh-faced young comic from the San Francisco Bay Area. He is adorable, but you cannot take him home with you. His act is a mix of clever jokes and elaborate stories like the one about how he got fired on Halloween while dressed as his boss. Sam got his start in comedy at 17 years old, practicing at open mics and developing his writing abilities at UCSC’s satirical newspaper, Fish Rap Live!, and men’s interest website Gunaxin.com. Now halfway through his fourth year in stand-up, Sam has performed at every full-time comedy club in the Bay Area. He has had the opportunity to share the stage with national headliners such as Steve Wilson, Andrew Norelli, KT Tatara, Jeff Applebaum, Larry “Bubbles” Brown, Annie Lederman, Sammy Obeid, Kabir Singh, and Steven Pearl. At the end of 2013, Sam hosted a limited-engagement comedy show on KSCO 1080 AM in Santa Cruz. He currently co-hosts his every-so-often podcast “A Long Walk” with his brother-in-law Kevin Koleckar, and performs wherever he can, except funerals. He learned his lesson about that the first two times. Performance dates are available on his website.
