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.
I love both these comedians and was really looking forward to this show. Maybe my expectations were too high but ultimately I was disappointed. Dont get me wrong, they were funny.... just not $62.50 x 2 worth of funny.... Jay was particularly unimpressive that night.
Jay Mohr came out and was funny, but he only did 15 minutes, then Adam Carolla came out and was not interesting or funny, and seemed completely unorganized. He brought Bill Simmons out to do a breakdown of the Fast & Furious movies, and it was Horrible. I like these guys, but Adam needs to stick with Radio, and Bill with Sports commentating. After a lengthy intermission, Adam & Jay came out, and once again Jay stole the show. But this time even he was too obnoxious. Overall Jay will get me to buy a tix to one of his future gigs, and Adam, I will just have to appreciate when he joins Kevin & Bean in the AM's
These guys are great together great atmosphere excellent sound hope they do another one together again and maybe add a couple more comics
I've seen Carolla before and he was good at standup with some great moments. this show started on a high note with Jay Mohr killing his set. Carolla's Fast and the Furious bit was a huge waste of time. The Q&A portion picked up steam but Carolla has a horrible habit of looking at his watch all the time. We paid $80 each all in - you can keep the show going when it is going well. I would not see a Carolla stand up again but will look for Jay Mohr.
Comedy shows are typically hit or miss but this one was spot on and even felt too short! Adam clearly appreciates his fans and Mangria was consumed by all!
Adam's stories were excellent as expected. This was our first time seeing his performance live. We would go again.
This was my second Adam Carolla show and again he did not disappoint. It was not the same show that I saw several months ago, though of course a few of the stories were the same. I love that he stays after each show for pictures and autographs. :) I liked the Wilbur Theater. I had read reviews of the Wilbur which had me a bit hesitant, but I thought it was great. I had also read that drinks were "sky high" but I didn't find them to be ridiculously priced. I had some of Adam's "Mangria" which I also liked, but it is definitely strong. It hit me much harder than I expected.
Not what I was expecting!! Heard better on his radio show. At one point, it actually got boring and painful to to stay to the end. You can say or respond what you like but it was just not a funny, walk away feel good show. The material was stiff and the laughs were spread thin and lengthy in between the lines.
Adam Carolla was great, the venue was small enough that I could see him & hear almost everything he said. The only downfall was the inconsiderate jerk behind us laughing too loudly & yelling to Adam at inappropriate times making it difficult to hear at times. I get we were seeing a comedian but it definitely made it less than ideal. He was ruining it for everyone. I wish an usher had come by to tell him to dial it down.
Great atmosphere...greater comedian. Carolla makes the decent sized Wilbur Theatre feel even more intimate.
Very entertaining, Loved the slide show behind him. Loved the fact he took pictures with his fans afterwards. It peaks to e kind of person he is, to take that time. It meant a lot to my son.
Great show almost 2 hrs and stayed after to do meet and great. Grest time
The show was hilarious!!! The show was about an hour and 45 minutes and was amazing.
Amazing show, as always. Good venue. Mr. Carolla always stays after every show to sign autographs and take pictures, amazing show.
Cobb's is the right size venue for comedy, no too big but large enough to be comfortable. The food and Service were good. Adam did not disappoint. Once he go rolling the time just flew. It was a great evening with Adam and the people that love him.
Hey, If you know Adam, then there's not much to tell that you don't know. I don't know how this guy tours as much as he does and brings fresh material to the table on a conversational basis. He's sharp, funny, and entertaining.
First time at Cobb's and it was great. Also first time seeing the ACS live. Good drinks and food. Loved that they had the Mangria available :)
It's the aceman, and always a delight. Totally topical tivo trivia was a blowout for Bald Bryan.
Of course Carolla was spectacular! Came out on stage and immediately went at it. Best show around.
Great, hilarious show! Definitely will come back to see Adam whenever he comes back.
