ADAM CAROLLA is best known as a comedian, actor, radio personality, television host and NY Times best-selling author. He currently hosts The Adam Carolla Show, which holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for “most downloaded podcast," and was recently a star on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice. His latest book, Not Taco Bell Material, was released in June 2012 from Random House Publishing.
Adam started The Adam Carolla Show podcast with only a computer and a microphone from his home office in February 2009. That year the podcast was named iTunes #1 Podcast of 2009, and it has only grown since then. The podcast receives more than five million downloads a month and has been featured in Fast Company Magazine, Entrepreneur, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times. Adam’s immediate success prompted him to launch an entire online network, ACE Broadcasting in February 2010, which produces many of iTunes' top podcast programming.
Adam became a New York Times best-selling author when his book, In 50 Years We'll All Be Chicks, topped the charts for ten weeks. The audio version went straight to the #1 position on iTunes and remains there today. His new e-book, Rich Man Poor Man, is now available on iTunes.
Before running his online empire, Adam hosted The Adam Carolla Show on CBS radio stations in Los Angeles, Portland and Las Vegas. The four-hour weekday morning program was syndicated in several major markets, including Seattle, Sacramento and Fresno.
Adam has also starred on ABC's hit reality series Dancing with the Stars, hosted Comedy Central's Too Late with Adam Carolla and starred in TLC's The Adam Carolla Project, which chronicled the renovation and subsequent sale of his boyhood home.
Following brief stints as a skilled carpenter and boxing trainer, Adam began his career in radio after answering an ad seeking a boxing instructor to train then radio personality Jimmy Kimmel of KROQ's Kevin and Bean Show in Los Angeles. He eventually joined the show's repertoire as “Mr. Birchum,” a wood shop teacher. Adam’s success on KROQ led to a hosting job on the nationally syndicated radio program Loveline with Dr. Drew Pinsky. MTV developed a television version of the show, which was co-hosted by Adam and Dr. Drew for five seasons (1996-2000). The duo also authored The Dr. Drew and Adam Book: A Survival Guide to Life and Love.
With his partners Daniel Kellison and Jimmy Kimmel, Adam heads Jackhole Industries, and created and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, The Man Show and Crank Yankers.
A native of Southern California, Adam currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Lynette, and their twins.
This has been my second time seeing Adam Carolla at the Egyptian theatre and he delivered a great show with his usual style. He of course stays after the show for the meet and greet which I’m sure everyone appreciates. I can relate to him and would recommend any of his shows anywhere he happens to be if you are up for some laughs. Thanks Adam and the Egyptian theatre!
Excited about the show, only to get there and realize Adam was hardly prepared and frankly seemed disinterested in being there. It felt like he was working out his routine with the Boise audience instead of working it out before getting to Boise. Wish I could get the hour and a half back.
Had great front row seats to the one and only Adam Carolla. Outrageously funny and it was great to meet him after the show.
Adam was very funny with fresh material. I would go see him again for sure.
I've seen him 3 other times, but this was his best show. He typically does a bunch of riffing and ranting but this was actually an honest to god full stand up routine and it was really funny.
i had a great time at the show having many laughs. The set-up for the jokes was a bit too long sometimes and some of the older jokes are not as relevant nowadays. Still a big fan of Adam
Adam always makes me laugh. Have been following him since the Loveline days.
I was expecting to hear some recycled material but he surprised me with a great set. Fantastic experience at his live show. Highly recommend. Also, if you have friends that aren’t familiar with his material, he’s really good about appealing to a broad audience.
Excellent show as Adam knew his audience in Idaho. Straight forward and easy to understand. Great topics and current events. Lots of good laughs and worth the cost.
Adam and his opener were great. They weren’t afraid to cover pc topics and didn’t hold back. A night filled with laughter
Damn Adam is so funny. Huge fan! Good times! A wonderful evening filled with lots of laughs
I’ve been listening to Adam since 94. Love this guy!
Front row, best comedian ever seen, stayed by after to sign stuff. Very funny and legendary since loveline. Literally a millionaire.
I thought the show was very entertaining & the opening acts were great also. I love the seating; there is not a bad seat in the house. We felt the drinks were over priced; 2 drinks cost $40 & one was a beer. Security was good; they quickly escorted a person who was upset & yelling out of the theater without further incident. Adam handled it well stayed on the stage & remained quiet while the person was being removed. We all were happy that he was removed and the show went on. Very professional.
Seems that his jokes were mostly aimed at the young men in the audience & not very funny :-(
Too many hecklers, creating uncomfortable atmosphere Don't agree with his political views; would not attend again
The two opening comedians were very funny. Adam on the other hand was not entertaining. Found most of his material to be outdated.
Adam is a great thinker with an irreverent heart and a decent soul. How podcasts are smart. And Dr Drew is always a great addition. What happened with his comedy routine is another question - rambling, crass bordering on gross, and it was obviously a very low-effort production. 1/3 of the crowd roared, 1/3rd cringed, and 1/3rd spent the entire time exiting and returning from the bar and bathroom. Overall, very disappointing.
The opening acts where hilarious but I hadn't realized what rabbit hole Adam had gone down. He started okay but soon became a mess of QANON and Trumper style hyperbole. Jokes written to to fan hate, stories that if not totally made up were enhanced by a certain view. I tried to last it out since I had lived him earlier in his career but it soon became apparent he really believes his nonsense. Not worth the money I was paid to be there.
Adam was great. Venue and entire night was a blast.
