Winner of the Amused Moose Judges Prize for his 2013 Edinburgh show, yet one of the last comics to appear on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (making six more appearances with Jay Leno and five appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman), Al Lubel is one of those rare beasts who garners both critical praise and mainstream success. He's supported Jerry Seinfeld, who kindly mentioned "Al has one of the best jokes I have ever heard" and recently fellow comic Adam Bloom gave him high praise by saying Al had "the most original first ten minutes of comedy I've ever seen."
Not long after winning the $100,000 Comedy Grand Prize on US television's Star Search, Al was the subject of the documentary 'A Standup Life' directed by Peter Lydon for the BBC. The documentary about American stand-up comedy featured Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Hope, Mort Sahl and Joan Rivers. Al has played an attorney on the Blake Clark HBO Comedy Hour. He has also played played Bill Walton's sidekick in the ESPN series, Bill Walton's Long Strange Trip.
Al's solo show, Mentally Al, won the Amused Moose Award Judges Prize as the best one person show in the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Two years later he was nominated for best performer of a solo show by the Barry Awards at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
"A terrifically funny comedian" David Letterman
"A cult superstar in the making" Bruce Dessau, Beyond the Joke/Evening Standard
"Al Lubel takes all of the attributes that gave his 2013 show such cult appeal and does more of them, marrying existential angst, metaphysical enquiry and lexical mischief for a performance quite unlike anyone else at the Fringe." Jay Richardson, Scotsman.
