Alex Giampapa began performing stand-up comedy in Boston at the age of 19 and soon became a popular act all across New England. He’s performed with comedians like Bill Burr, Hannibal Buress, Luis J Gomez, Ilana Glaser, Sarah Cooper, Judah Friedlander, Gary Gulman, Matt Braunger, Sammy Obeid, Eugene Mirman, Eric D’Alessandro, Adam Devine and Erik Griffin. Alex headlines shows nationwide, and has been featured in many comedy festivals including The Rogue Island Comedy Festival (Newport, RI), The Big Pine Comedy Festival (Flagstaff, AZ), The Boston Comedy Festival, The Vermont Comedy Festival and The Motor City Comedy Festival (Detroit, MI).
His edgy, but relatable style has made him a popular choice for many different types of audiences:
“His voice and onstage demeanor may be soothing, but that doesn’t mean [he] won’t bring a scorching set of well-crafted jokes, hot takes on current events, and a good, healthy dose of social commentary” - Vanyaland
Alex has had digital success too: he’s been featured on Comedy Central Asia, Funny or Die, and has been the #1 post on Reddit three times. His “War Money” joke has gone viral on multiple occasions and was shared by celebrities/politicians such as Mos Def, DL Hughley, Gina Carano, Niecy Nash, Jamaal Bowman and Nina Turner.
Alex also wrote, produced, directed and co-starred in a comedy pilot, Poor Effort.
