Sam Salem
LA-based stand-up comedian and former Midwesterner who headlines clubs and theaters nationwide, creates viral videos with 100 million+ views, and connects with young audiences—often by inventing Gen Z slang for his students.
Once a Midwesterner, Sam Salem now lives in Los Angeles and headlines clubs and theaters throughout the U.S. He creates online videos in a laidback comedic voice that have amassed more than 100 million views across platforms, and his work has been featured on EllenTV, iHeartRadio and in commentary on SportsCenter. Offstage he faces his toughest audience teaching high school classrooms, where he often adapts to youth culture (even making up Gen Z slang for his students).
