[Ian Abramson] Is The Genre

How a childhood love of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' and aspirations of being a swimming cartoonist trash man laid the path for Ian Abramson's comedy career.

Tim Barnes chats with comedian Ian Abramson about discovering his voice as a comedian, and preparing for his debut standup special The Heist.


Here’s Ian’s bio, as written on his website:

Ian Abramson? I haven't heard that name in a long time...

Well, not the way you pronounce it anyway.

My name is Ian Abramson (I'm sorry, you're still reading that wrong. EE-IN ABE-RAM-SHGERT).

I grew up in the Inland Empire. Between San Diego and Los Angeles. Weird area, but it made me a weird guy so who’s complaining? I went to college and I worked in summer camps. I’ve been told I have camp counselor vibes, which I guess just means I’m a lot sometimes.

I’m a comedian. I write, I act, blah, blah, blah.

They say not to make your website funny, but if you’re looking for something serious online I’d suggest Wikipedia.
