Biography
Warren Holstein, an established entity on the New York comedy scene, burst forth from Rutgers University with a degree in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. Graduating with highest honors and a promising future, he promptly took the next logical step of throwing it all away for various smoke-filled rooms of drunken hooligans.
Warrens unique brand of humor challenges preconceived values and truths, questioning our adherence to them. He presents new ways of looking at the world, which have been alternately described as warped, innovative and enlightening.
His unabashedly honest and engaging nature combined with an innate ability for improvisation continues to move and electrify audiences show after show.

Warren Holstein on:
Anti-Semitism:
“There are places in this country where Jew is not even a person... it’s a verb”
Childhood Obesity:
“There is nothing more depressing than a fat kid, its like the physical manifestation of the loss of potential”
Drug Commercials:
“There is no way you will ever get date raped on pot… unless you are wearing a pizza”
Finding that Special Someone:
“If you’ve been dating someone for 2 or 3 months and you’ve thought of killing her… she might be the one. And if you do actually kill her, she’s your soul mate”
