About Adam Friedland
Adam Dean Friedland (born April 10, 1987) is an American stand-up comedian, talk-show host and podcaster. Described by GQ as a potential "Millennial Jon Stewart", he hosts the online comedy talk show The Adam Friedland Show, an offshoot of the comedy podcast Cum Town he co-hosted with Nick Mullen and Stavros Halkias.
Friedland was born at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California, to Lithuanian-Jewish South African parents from Cape Town. His family left South Africa in the early 1980s after his father received a draft notice to fight in the Angolan Civil War, and Adam grew up in California, South Africa, and Las Vegas. Following high school, he lived in Israel for a year where he worked in the ambulance service, then attended George Washington University as a Middle Eastern studies major.
Friedland began his comedy career in Washington, D.C., following his college graduation and deferment from law school in 2009. He gained notability in the scene for his 'alternative' performance piece-oriented comedy and moved to New York City in 2014. In 2016, Friedland joined Nick Mullen and Stavros Halkias as co-host of the comedy podcast Cum Town, which is noted for its absurdist and controversial content.
