Uptown Theatre presents Adam Carolla

ADAM CAROLLA is best known as a comedian, actor, radio personality, television host and NY Times best-selling author. He currently hosts THE ADAM CAROLLA SHOW, which holds the Guinness Book of World Records for “most downloaded podcast.” Adam started THE ADAM CAROLLA SHOW podcast from his home office in Feb. 2009. The podcast now receives more than 30 million downloads a month and has been featured in Fast Company Magazine, Entrepreneur, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.

After years “digging ditches and swinging hammers” on construction sites throughout Southern California led to a job rebuilding a boxing gym, Adam traded on that for an opportunity to coach boxing.  Little did he know this would lead to a fateful meeting with Jimmy Kimmel which would officially put him on the path to comedy stardom. After joining Kimmel on KROQ’s hit morning show Adam launched his national comedy career on the syndicated radio program LOVELINE with Dr. Drew Pinsky. MTV developed a television version of the show, which was co-hosted by Adam and Dr. Drew for five seasons (1996-2000). With Jimmy Kimmel (and their partner Daniel Kellison) Adam created and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, THE MAN SHOW (1999-2003) and CRANK YANKERS (2002‐2005).  He later took that construction acumen into the television world with TLC’s THE ADAM CAROLLA PROJECT, which saw him and old construction buddies remodeling and flipping his childhood home, Spike TV’s TO CATCH A CONTRACTOR where he busted shady contractors and made them fix their shoddy work, and ADAM CAROLLA AND FRIENDS BUILD STUFF LIVE where he coached celebrity guests on various DIY challenges.
