LoHud Comedy

LOHUD COMEDY

…has recently been honored to present comedy legends and luminaries like: ROBERT KLEIN, COLIN QUINN, and GILBERT GOTTFRIED at venues as diverse as Piermont’s landmark Turning Point Cafe and the White Plains Performing Arts Center.

LoHud Comedy was founded in 2010 to infuse the already-vibrant local arts scene with the Thalian spirit of mirth. For what, in difficult times, is more healing than a gathering of like-minded folk in the presence of jesters, storytellers, and fools for an evening of merrymaking, laughter, and drink?

LoHud Comedy is produced by local Rockland County resident, Adam Oliensis (Tony®, Drama Desk, & Clio Award nominee, & winner of the 2013 Paramount Theatre Stand-Up Star Search). We began by bringing world-class funny to the Lower Hudson Valley, and have since expanded into Westchester, Putnam County, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, and New York City.

A long-time Rockland County resident, Adam has been working in comedy for longer than he cares to admit: as a comic, actor, writer, director, and producer; in  Film, TV, Theatre, and Commercials.

In his stand-up, Adam explores the lessons in humility he’s learning from his wife and especially from his children, along with the adjustments that genuine adulthood is forcing upon him.

Having lived in East Africa, studied martial arts in India, and languished spiritually in New Jersey, Adam is attuned to the absurdities that arise in the everyday, mining both the ironies and silliness that exist in the most humbling situations (with which he continues to gain vast experience).
