Poetic Goofball
Part storyteller, part cultural investigator, multi-racial comedian Sammy Anzer blends slick wit with cultural empathy to make you laugh and think. His stand-up feels sharp yet inviting, and Rooster Magazine says, "Anzer's performances blend joy with contemplation and lift up the room."
Sammy recently made his debut at The Apollo, has written for Kevin Hart's LOL Network, and was named a Breakout Comedian of the Year in a competition hosted by Deon Cole. His album hit #1 on the iTunes charts, he was interviewed by ZIWE on her tour, and he's appeared on PBS's Roots of Comedy, Funny or Die, and SiriusXM. Sammy was named 'Best of Fest' at Big Pine, Big Sky, and 10K Laughs, and for a weekend in Las Vegas named himself "the cleanest comedian at Skankfest." He's been profiled in the Denver Post and is the only comedian ever awarded the RiNo Arts Grant.
Sammy's proud to have used comedy to raise $20,000 for St. Jude Children's Hospital. At the end of the day, his goal is simple: make people laugh and change the world.

‘A Kid From Queens’.
At Public School 220, joking with friends from all walks of life was just part of the culture, and Sammy embraced it wholeheartedly. That instinct to find common ground through humor shaped the comic he is today and his debut album delivers sharp introspection and clever commentary on navigating American society through the lens of his multi-racial experience. Now, as a touring comic eager to meet the world with mic in hand, Sammy shares all the flavors of Queens humor.
Watch
‘Comedians Talk Art‘.
Who is fine art for and how are you allowed to talk about it? Armed with only a sense of humor and curiosity Sammy Anzer, laughs and learns about fine art with his comedian friends. Comedians Talk Art opens an access point that is joyful, safe, and celebrates not-knowing as central to learning. Asking why artists paint “charcuterie set-ups”—and finding out it’s called a “still life”—isn’t just a laugh line; it’s an entryway into authentic art appreciation.
Anzer has brought authentic marketing content to institutions such as The Denver Art Museum, The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts and many galleries. Recently, Comedians Talk Art has been selected to showcase by the Yes And Laughter Lab in NYC where some sponsors are: NBC, Netflix, and Comedy Central.
