SAM CLARK

Sam Clark is a comedian, writer & filmmaker from Denver, Colorado. His debut comedy special SAM CLARK: BUILT FOR MATH was taped live at the Denver Jewish Community Center in front of 350 fellow Coloradan Jews (and presumably some gentiles) and debuted as the #1 Comedy Album in the world on iTunes (take that, Weird Al!). Sam was a featured comedian on Amazon Prime’s LAUGH AFTER DARK, he wrote for Netflix’s MAGIC FOR HUMANS, Comedy Central's PROBLEMATIC and the CBS Diversity Showcase, and he sold his first original TV show to the SyFy Channel. Sam recently launched his new interview series OLD NEWS on Patreon -- he's figuring out his 30s the best way he knows how: talking to old people. He has starred in, directed, and produced viral videos with over 55 Million YouTube views, featured in USA Today, Forbes, Business Insider, Funny Or Die, The Atlantic, HuffPo, Buzzfeed and more. He’s produced and starred in videos and campaigns for ATTN:, TikTokForGood, Snapchat, HLN, HumorTV, RuPaul's Drag Race star Loosey LaDuca, Harvard CS50, Offbeat Media, Hopper, the Untitled Musical Project, and more, and he built the YouTube channel Crimson Education from the ground up to 225,000 subscribers. Sam was featured as a “Filmmaker Making a Social Impact” by Authority Magazine for his work at Crimson, where he oversaw production of over 500 docu-style educational videos, filmed at college campuses all over the world.

Sam's debut film FAIRVIEW screened at 32 film festivals, won 19 awards including 10 for Best Comedy and 5 for Best Actor (Sam playing a worse version of himself), and was reviewed by Film Daily Magazine as "the political satire we need." FAIRVIEW is a semi-scripted mockumentary about a small-town City Council election in a purple district in Colorado, loosely inspired by Sam's experience running for President of Harvard’s Student Council as a joke, accidentally winning by a lot, and then resigning. Much like Sam’s earliest viral videos (fake tours of Yale with real tourists, etc.), FAIRVIEW was filmed with real focus groups of real voters, who helped platformless candidate Sam write a slogan that could please everyone. FAIRVIEW will begin streaming this September on Laugh After Dark TV on Apple TV, Amazon, Roku, and more. Sam is in post-production now on his second independent film with the same crew, coming this Fall!

As a comedian, Sam has been featured in SF Sketchfest, the San Francisco Comedy Competition, the Cleveland Comedy Festival, the Laugh Factory's "Fresh Faces," the Devil Cup, the LA Comedy Festival, and more. His live-streamed fundraiser variety shows during the quarantined months of the COVID-19 pandemic were featured in Rolling Stone, CNN, and Forbes, and raised over $140,000 for organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Feeding America, and the Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. Sam regularly hosts the Time Out NY-featured show HOT SETS (6 comics perform, 1 has to eat a habanero pepper first), which made its SF Sketchfest debut in February. His debut musical, "Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins: An Unauthorized Parody Musical," co-written with Gus Mayopoulos and Richard Rodgers Award Winner Dylan MarcAurele, was featured as one of "the best Hanukkah events in NYC" by Time Out NY and reviewed by Broadway World as "hilarious & irreverent."

Sam is a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. He occasionally does drag and teaches children Taekwondo (not at the same time (yet)).
