Adam Bloom is a British stand-up comedian widely regarded as one of the most original joke writers on the circuit, known for a rapid-fire, meticulously crafted style built on sharp observation rather than easy targets. He knew he wanted to be a comedian from the age of ten and was performing professionally by twenty-three, going on to become a fixture of London's live comedy scene. His confident, quick-thinking delivery has made him a favourite of comedy fans and fellow comedians alike.
Bloom made his television debut on BBC's The Stand Up Show before starring alongside Norman Lovett in the sitcom Asylum, and has since appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Mock the Week. He performed seven sell-out solo runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe between 1996 and 2007, winning the Edinburgh Festival Polygram Punter Award and the Time Out Award for Best Stand-Up in 1998. His international credits include a record-breaking debut at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and four appearances at Just for Laughs in Montreal, and he wrote and starred in his own BBC Radio 4 series, The Problem with Adam Bloom.
Ricky Gervais has named Bloom one of his favourite stand-ups, praising his meticulous, brilliant lines and intense honesty, and that reputation for whip-smart, dependable material makes him an excellent booking for comedy clubs, corporate events and any audience that appreciates genuinely clever writing. Decades of festival and club experience mean he can read a room instantly and deliver a set that lands, whatever the occasion.
