JAM Session:

Original Stand-Up featuring comedian Sam Killermann

Presented by JA Media

THE ARTIST

Comedian and storyteller Sam Killermann hails from Austin, TX, and travels the world with his work, performing, speaking, and writing. His most popular show, “It’s Pronounced Metrosexual,” has taken him to 100+ colleges, universities, and conferences around North America.

Sam’s a many-times published author, was an on-camera personality for the Big10 Network, and is the comedy half of S.E.X., an entertaining sex [ed] show in Austin and on the road.

As a result of his unique blend of humor and work toward global justice, he’s been featured in Time, The Atlantic, HuffPost, and most recently The New York Times (who coined him as “the toilet sign guy,” something he’s weirdly proud to be called).

THE SHOW

Sam will debut his new show "Just the World" at JAM Session. It will feature comedy and stories from his experiences traveling (and possibly a ukulele performance...).
