Sam Brown’s career began the moment he came out of his mother’s womb and was ignored by his entire family. Like other needy performers before him he quickly developed an arsenal of tricks to get their attention including, his mastery of sarcasm, brutal put downs and an uncanny impression of his arthritic Aunt Selma. After twenty five years of honing his skills as a jackass, Mr. Brown was voted “ The Funniest Man in New York” by The Toyota Comedy Festival. Soon thereafter Sam began headlining top comedy clubs across the country and being featured in such festivals as Montreal’s “ Just For Laughs”. In Los Angeles, Sam headlined a show for four years at Luna Park where his special brand of neurotic insanity was described by E ! Entertainment, “ Sam is like watching a hurricane unleashed, bodies strewn across the comedy landscape, leaving no survivors in his path”. Most recently Sam starred in his critically acclaimed one person show Neurotica which was directed by Jon Shear (Urbania ) and had a successful four month run at the Hudson Guild Theatre in Los Angeles. Sam has made numerous appearances in both film and television. He has been featured as an actor in Inspector Gadget (with Matthew Broderick), The Curve (with Matthew Lillard), New York Undercover and was a series regular on Comedy Central’s “Dr. Katz” ,“ Comics On Delivery” as well as UPN’S” Home Movies”. As a comic Sam has been on “NBC’S Stand Up Showcase with Louie Anderson”, Comedy Central’s’ “Tompkins Square Park”. Stand Up, Stand Up, Comic Remix and BET’S pay per view special,” Raw and Naked”. In the past few years Sam’s career as a screenwriter has taken off. He and his writing partner Jack Angelo recently sold their spec Off The Hook to Universal Studios for Mary Parent to produce. He also currently has films in various stages of development at Disney ( Rescued ) , New Line ( Lucky ), and Intermedia ( Happily Ever After). Sam also wrote and starred in a short film called “ Chutzpah, The Shmooale Glick Story” which was chosen as the pick of the week by The Independent Film channel and recently named one of the top five parodies in the history of the internet. Sam is currently developing the screen version of ‘Neurotica” with director Jon Shear and continuing to develop new projects with his writing partner, Jack Angelo. He is also trying hard not to scare the crap out of all the women on J-Date. |
