Named one of only 4 Finalists in CMT’s 2012 “Next Big Comic” nationwide search, Lance Weiss is quickly making a name for himself. Performing 300+ live shows a year, Weiss’ unique style of humor and sharp wit have made him one of the most requested acts performing on the New York City scene today. His first stand-up appearance was as a participant in the Funniest Man on Campus contest, putting him on a path that would change his life. Lance soon began performing around the Washington, DC comedy scene and soon after was bringing his act to DC’s top comedy venue, The DC Improv.
When not honing his craft in NYC, Lance tours the clubs and colleges nation-wide with The Fifth Year Comedy Tour, Laugh Hard or Die Trying Tour, and The Almost Famous Tour. He has also performed as an opening act for VH1’s Best Week Ever Tour Live.
Lance has participated in numerous comedy festivals and contests over the years. In both 2010 & 2011, he was named a semi-finalist in the New York Comedy Festival’s NY’s Funniest Stand-up Competition, chosen from hundreds of comedians. He has also performed in the NY Comedy Contest, Boston Comedy Festival, and he was recently named a top 10 nation-wide semi-finalist in the Magners Comedy Festival in Boston.
