Sam Adams is a standup comedian, keynote speaker and television commercial actor. Author and award-winning sports journalist appear on his impressive resume, as well.

Sam became a full-time standup comedian in 2009, at age 49. He won prize monies at the Great American Comedy Festival, just four months after his stellar career as a sports writer ended abruptly. The timing was right for a career switch.

Comedy fans around the world learned about Sam via social media in 2018, when the “True Color” clip taken from his first Dry Bar Comedy special went viral. It received more than 10 million views in less than 72 hours, and has amassed more than 35 million views on Facebook alone.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette offered this review after one of Sam’s live comedy performances 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 became the first African-American sports journalist to be inducted to the Hall of Fame for the Denver Press Club — the oldest press club in America.

On stages and pages,  Sam Adams is accomplished and highly entertaining.

“Mr. Sam Adams was an epic addition to our event. Our room was jam-packed with 250 soldiers from all across America. The best part about his humor is that it was all clean and made everyone laugh and enjoy the evening.
Giovanna C., Colorado Springs CO

“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! ”
