Throughout his explosive stand up act, Adam Ferrara blends brilliant characterizations and hilariously accurate observations with a grace and instinct that are most rare. Ferrara hits the stage like a loose power line and electrifies the room; he is an undeniable talent. Though Ferrara's ease of spontaneity makes his comedy seem effortless, Ferrara has been carefully honing his comedic talent for years; meticulously crafting his material. Ferrara has been called "an uncommon jewel."

Voted class clown by his graduating class in High School, Adam Ferrara has loved comedy ever since he can remember... He just didn't know he could make a living at it. But when his first try at an open mike (at his hometown's premium comedy club, "East Side") brought him an offer for paying work right afterwards he was off and running and has never looked back.

Ferrara made his late night television debut on the "Arsenio Hall" show. His stellar list of stand-up television appearances, over the years, include multiple appearances on Comedy Central - including two solo stand-up specials, as well as “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The View,” “Politically Incorrect,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” VH-1’s “The List,” and FX’s “The Test.” Ferrara was also a featured performer at the Friar’s Club Roast of Rob Reiner.

Many of Ferrara's favorite pieces are available on his debut comedy CD "HAVE SOME" live from Pasadena's famed ICE HOUSE. Described as a "45 minute joy ride," "Have Some" takes you on a hilarious journey through everyday life with Adam; unleashing his wild imagination and brilliant observations on subjects like: Girlfriends, Marriage, Fantasies, Grandparents, Menopause, and Pregnant Men!

Adam Ferrara's standout performance at the "JUST FOR LAUGHS," Montreal Comedy Festival received the evening's sole standing ovation, and was the highlight of the festival's television special on FOX that year. It came as no surprise when Ferrara was nominated as the "Best Stand Up Comedian Of The Year" at multiple American Comedy Awards since.

Ferrara has since become a regular performer at the world-renowned "JUST FOR LAUGHS." Adam’s appearances at the Festival include a variety of shows, special events, and the prestigious closing night gala where he has shared the stage with Louise Anderson, Don Rickels and David Schwimmer.
