I’m under the impression that laughter truly is the best medicine. It’s funny how easy it is to get in a good mood just by smiling. A couple times a week, we sit in our cubicles and listen to a full comedy album. Sometimes they're good, sometimes...well, we won't discus that. Whenever we get a really good one, I share it with you, in the hopes that you get as big a laugh as we do. Enjoy!


Adam Ferrara - Funny As Hell

Ferrara grew up in Huntington Station, New York in an Italian-American family. He is married to indie actress Alex Tyler, who is on the cover of his comedy DVD Funny as Hell. She also plays the "she-devil" in the special's introductory sketch. One of Ferrara's best friends growing up was Anthony Cumia, of the SiriusXM "Opie & Anthony Show". He appears on the show every so often. Adam and Anthony also were members of the "RED DEVILS" paintball team.

Adam Ferrara, the stand-up comedian and actor who Entertainment Weekly dubbed “Hilarious,” proudly played Chief Needles Nelson on the Emmy® nominated FX drama series, Rescue Me. Ferrara has also costarred alongside Kevin James in the hit movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop and in Definitely Maybe with Ryan Reynolds.

Presently Adam hosts Top Gear US, airing on HISTORY and stars on Showtime’s hit series Nurse Jackie opposite Edie Falco. Additionally, Adam is an internationally touring headliner, two-time nominee for best male stand-up by the American Comedy Awards, and has three Comedy Central Specials.

Ferrara's earlier TV credits include NBC’s Law & Order, ABC’s Ugly Betty, CBS's The King Of Queens, as well as a series regular on the critically acclaimed ABC show, The Job, starring opposite Denis Leary. At a Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, Denis Leary was quoted as saying, “Adam Ferrara is a great comedian, but he’s really pissing me off now because he’s become such a great dramatic actor.”

Apart from opening for his comedy idol, George Carlin, and performing at both Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall, Ferrara was asked to perform at a benefit for the President and all of the Senators. Stuck in traffic on the way to the event, Ferrara quipped, “I’m still moving faster than Congress.
