Bio

Slade Ham is not standard fare in the comedy world. Over the last few years, he’s generated a cult following of not only his stand up, but of the volumes of online Rants he churns out weekly. From social issues to the perils of his previous eight year, train wreck relationship, Slade’s show takes you places you thought only you had been… and when it’s over, you realize there’s hope at the end of it all. It’s not motivational or inspirational; it’s just true. 

A veteran of multiple USO tours for our troops overseas, Slade has taken his trademark brand of intensity to over twenty countries on four different continents, leaving audiences howling every time. Off stage, Slade lends his talents to the production of independent films, most recently starring in and co-directing the award winning "Fist Full of Pills" along with fellow Texas comedian Tom Hester.  The film was showcased at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and was the recipient of an Honorable Mention, coming in second only to a Kevin Pollack film. The follow up, “Kill Whitey”, featuring the same creative team, is scheduled to debut in Montreal in 2007. 

In addition to headlining some of the finest clubs in the nation this past year, Slade was also invited by Christopher Titus to open at the taping of his “5^th Annual End of the World Tour” for Comedy Central at the South Beach Comedy Festival.

In 2006 Slade had the honor of headlining XM Radio’s “Best of Texas” two hour special, and his 2^nd CD “Redemption” remains one of XM Comedy’s most requested.  “Redemption” also features original music from Kevin Martin of Candlebox fame, and receives almost daily airplay on XM Channel 150. His third project, “Anywhere But Here”, is set for a late 2007 release.

Original, fast paced, and always putting the audience first… Slade Ham is on the verge of something huge. The crowd simply never leaves disappointed. More importantly though, they leave as fans.
