Sam Tallent

Sam Tallent (“the absurd voice of a surreal generation” – The Denver Post) is a comedian, novelist and host of the Chubby Behemoth Podcast.

For the last decade, he has performed more than 45 weekends per year in North America, Asia, Australia and Europe. His writing has appeared in Birdy Magazine and VICE and he’s told jokes on Comedy Central, TruTV and VICELAND.  His acclaimed debut novel, Running the Light, heralded as the definitive book on standup comedy, is soon to be a major motion picture (Doug Stanhope: “the best fictional representation of comedy in any medium ever,” Marc Maron: “a beautiful rendering of a dark reality”).

His novella, ATTABOY, was published as an Audible Original. His latest comedy special, The Toad’s Morale is available on YouTube.
