Sam Tripoli

Stand Up Comedy, Pole Dancing, Burlesque Dancing, Crowd Interaction and Prize Give Aways!

Sam has said that performing and the desire to make people laugh has been in his blood since age two, and he began doing stand-up comedy in Las Vegas one night on a dare. He was soon performing in casinos with Mutiny, an improv troupe he co-founded, as well as hosting his own weekly shows on the strip.
In 2000, Tripoli moved to Los Angeles. His first break came while working the door at The Comedy Store. Owner Mitzi Shore decided to put together a Middle Eastern themed show called “Arabian Knights”] and Tripoli's Armenian descent got him on the bill. He was one of only two comedians at The Comedy Store to do their first set as a paid regular in The Main Room – the other was Roseanne Barr.
In 2006, friend and fellow comedian Steve Byrne brought him along to an audition for Spike TV, which resulted in Sam getting cast as a co-host on the network's Wild World of Spike.
Tripoli was chosen as a finalist in 2008's “Who Wants to be Howard Stern” contest, and his demo was played on-air.
Sam is currently an international headliner that performs regularly throughout Los Angeles. “Crimefighter" was the title of his debut comedy album and a frequent theme in his act. He has toured as part of The Monsters of Comedy, Rock Stars of Comedy and a USO Tour of Afghanistan organized by Vince Vaughn.
Tripoli created The Naughty Show, which is both a live comedy variety show and a weekly podcast on the DEATHSQUAD network. Both shows incorporate comedians, adult film stars, characters and videos. He is also a frequent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience and Ice House Chronicles.
In February 2012, Tripoli and fellow comedians Ari Shaffir and Jayson Thibault launched Punch-Drunk, a sports radio show, on the Toadhop Network.
In August of 2012, Tripoli used his limited movie knowledge to correctly refute movie aficionado Douglas Benson's analysis of suspenseful thriller The Usual Suspects. Despite the fact that Benson is the one with a movie podcast.
