Comedy Showcase with Orny Adams - Navy Seal in the Audience

Orny Adams (Adam Jason Orenstein) delivers a powerful, incisive stand-up comedy routine that vacillates between the relevant and the absurd. Orny attacks what’s wrong with the world and sometimes even what’s wrong with Orny. He’s brutally honest, satirical and his performance is ceaselessly energetic.  

We first ran into Orny Adams at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal seven years ago. We previously posted clips of Orny in one of his Showtime specials. Orny has been performing on late night TV shows and other comedy venues, and he's a regular at the Just for Laughs Festival.

Orny has had one hour stand up specials on Netflix, Comedy Central and his third special More Than Loud aired on Showtime. Orny has appeared all over television, most notably on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman and The Conan O’Brien Show. And you might also recognize him as Coach from the TV show Teen Wolf which ran for six seasons.

In this clip from a performance last September at the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California, Orny finds out that there is a retired Navy Seal in his audience and turns the discovery into a monologue about heroes and accomplished people  and how he is being upstaged by them.

Enjoy!
