ALEX BARNETT
As the White, Jewish husband of a Black woman (who converted to Judaism) and the father of a 10-month old, Biracial son, Alex focuses his attention on the challenges of being a parent in a bad economy and the issues that confront interracial families (including the dynamics between members of the same family who are of different races). In the Age of Obama, his material is very timely, relevant, and very funny. Before becoming a comic, Alex was a lawyer, which means he is now far happier but has less money. And, though he left the law to pursue a career in comedy, he kept a foot in the legal world. He is a member of Comedians at Law (www.comediansatlaw.com), a group of six comics who all left the law to pursue their dreams. The group just completed its nationwide Spring Tour "Lawmageddon," and they are making plans for their Fall Tour right now. Alex has performed at clubs, colleges and venues throughout the country. He's been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, CNN.com, and NYC-TV. In 2011, he won the 12th Annual Gilda's Club (Northern NJ) Laugh-Off.
