Don Adams is an American-born comedian living and traveling abroad. Currently basing his comedy career from Amsterdam in the Netherlands after arriving in late 2010.

Early Career

Don began performing comedy in May of 1999 in Orlando, FL. He toured the United States and Canada both as an opening act in the more mainstream venues and a headliner in the smaller comedy pockets and clubs. Performing as "The Slacker" and playing off his "former life" and exodus from corporate America Don found marginal success on the road as he honed his craft.

In 2001 Don was chosen as contestant on Comedy Central's Laugh Riots. Also in 2001 Spin Records released a CD of live comedy from Don entitled "Welcome to My Mind, Sorry It's Such A Mess". Don followed that with a self produced "I Regret That I Have But One Laugh To Give To My Country".

Don continued to tour, write and perform until 2007 when some personal matters followed soon after by the loss of his parents within months of each other forced him into seclusion in Upstate NY.

"It was a very dark time in my life. I embraced it, I owned it and now I am moving on from it"

Future

"The future is now. All I am working on is the stage. What new thing I can bring to it, what new way I can squeeze a laugh out."

In Don's Words

"A year ago I was sitting on a leather couch so soft it was as if they used a cow's vagina to make it, not some hunk of ass meat, but the creamy soft lips of cow pussy. I was watching a TV that was actually larger than many people's dining rooms tables and it was as thin as your average smart phone. I had a good job, steady income and could not possibly have been more miserable."

"Performing here [Netherlands] was a whole new challenge for me, the Don that was a few years back no longer existed and the new Don is still working himself out"
