ELIOT CHANG

Eliot Chang has been seen on his own Comedy Central Half Hour, E!’s “Chelsea Lately”, Showtime and has received millions of views on YouTube.  Originally from New York City and now based in Los Angeles, he has toured in almost every state in America and parts of Europe and Asia. This comedian is also an actor and improviser. He studied improv in NY at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) and then with Armando Diaz at the Magnet Theater.

“In a comedic landscape that is often wrought with sarcasm, self-deprecation, and cynicism, I have to say that Eliot Chang is a welcome relief! His point of view is honest and real yet Eliot’s approach is marked by a fun positive energy that is genuine and refreshing. That is something that sets him apart – the fact that he is still funny with this attitude and energy that other people try to put forth and it comes off as an act. He’s simply fun to watch and makes me laugh.” – JoAnn Grigioni, VP Talent, Comedy Central

Jim started his career at The Comedy Workshop in Houston, Texas, home of the “Texas Outlaw Comics” such as Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks.

With an attitude aimed at making people laugh uncontrollably, Jim strikes incredibly close to home with his deceptively friendly, yet cynical descriptions of everyday subjects!
