The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette offered this glowing review of Sam’s comedy performance in 2019: “Known for his prize-winning comedy and casual delivery devoid of profanity and vulgarity, (Adams) spent two hours entertaining a full house that belly-laughed and applauded too many times to count. If it’s true that laughter is the best medicine, he administered his healing brand intravenously for two solid hours.”
Sam Adams spent parts of five decades covering sports for newspapers and electronic media outlets based in Denver, Colorado. Sam’s media peers elected him Colorado’s Print Journalist of the Year in 2003. In 2019 Sam Adams became the first African-American sports journalist to be inducted to the Denver Press Club’s Hall of Fame — the oldest press club in America.

“We had a very special and unique way we wanted to present our material. Sam was 100% flexible, and on board from day one. We used him as an emcee throughout the day, as well as enjoyed his comedy hour at the end of the evening. Everyone in the audience absolutely loved it! ”
