About Sam Tallent
Sam Tallent (born May 2, 1987), born Sam Bayard Tallent, is an American stand-up comedian, author, and podcaster. He was raised in Elizabeth, Colorado, where he was selected to the all-state football team as an offensive lineman in high school, graduating in 2005. He then played drums in a band called REDvsBLACK and lived in an anarchist compound in Ithaca, New York, in 2007 and 2008. Since 2010, he has toured across North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
Tallent's first comedy special, Waiting For Death to Claim Us, was released on Amazon Prime, and in December 2023 he performed a new special, The Toad's Morale.

His novella, Attaboy, was published as an Audible Original in 2022. Since February 2024, he has produced a comedic travel documentary, Sam Tallent's Wide World, in which he writes, directs, narrates and co-hosts.
