Slade Ham

How does one describe a comic like Slade Ham without using the typical words like aggressive, hilarious, improvisational, and truthful? Those words are tossed around too easily in the comedy world. Watching Slade's show is somewhat akin to getting hit in the face with a really, really funny baseball bat. In the last ten years, he has done quite a bit.

Sure, he's performed in twenty two different countries on four continents. It's also true that in 2006 Slade had the honor of headlining XM Radios Best of Texas two hour special, and his 2nd CD Redemption still remains one of XM Comedys most requested. Redemption also features original music from Kevin Martin of Candlebox fame, and receives almost daily airplay on XM Channel 150. He toured with Christopher Titus and opened for the taping of the 5th Annual End of the World Tour at the South Beach Comedy Festival. He directed in starred in the short film A Fist Full of Pills and it lost to Kevin Pollack at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. Hes also a regular on The Bob & Tom Show. You even saw him in ring at Wrestlemania XXV.

Despite all of that, that's not what brings people out to see the show. Slade has 21,000+ readers of his newsletter and an army of devoted followers of his online weekly blog. His stand up only reinforces what he has been proving for years his opinion isn't like the rest. From social issues to politics to the perils of his eight year long, train wreck relationship, Slades show will take you down roads you never thought youd go down.

Maybe it's because something in the crowd caught his eye or maybe he just decided to do an entirely different hour of material, but it's never the same show twice. Original, fast paced, and always putting the audience first Slade Ham is on the verge of something huge. The crowd simply never leaves disappointed. More importantly though, they leave as fans.
