BIO / RESUME
Whether he has traveled back to Medieval England to work in the mall or is simply caught in the everyday battle between his horoscopes and his fortune cookies, the man Heywood Banks described as "Vanilla Gumby" will someday conquer the world, but first he has to take some allergy medicine. Adam White combines his surreal worldview with inventive wit and hilarious twists. Adam joins the ranks of comedians such as Emo Philips, Steve Martin and Andy Kaufman who bring the audience into their minds and let them see the world through new eyes.
Adam's highly physical show draws from his improv and comedy writing training at The Second City Training Center and Improv Olympic in Chicago. Adam avoids the typical comedy fare. Instead Adam's choice of topics include: disadvantaged Transformers, giant scorpions, heavy metal, and even a song he co-wrote with his cat. He also has material that isn't quite that weird. You know, cuz he's a giver.
Adam currently works as a feature act and is a founder/instructor of Underground Comedy School/College.
