Comedy Showcase: Meet Gary Vider, Standup Comedian

Gary Vider is a New York City based Jewish comedian who has made a name for himself in the national comedy scene. His subtle style of humor took him all the way to the finals on season 10 of America’s Got Talent. His dry delivery has also earned him TV appearances on Conan and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He reminds us of Woody Allen in his early days of standup comedy.

His jokes have been published in the New York Times and Time Out NY Magazine. He was named a "Comic to Watch" by Esquire and was the winner of the 2014 Carolines on Broadway March Madness competition where he beat out 63 of the best young comedians. In early 2020, Gary released his debut comedy album, ‘Vider Las Vegas’. 

In this video clip Vider performs a comedy set on the Conan on TBS show. 

Enjoy!

  1. He is hilarious! The only thing I didn't like was the joke about trying to get a free trip. That only perpetuates a stereotype. If you tell that joke to Jews, it's very funny, but not to a mixed audience. Other than that, he has a terrific delivery and is very clever.
