Milt Abel is a solid professional in every respect. You will not see him pick on a group. His comedy is neither derisive nor divisive.
He first started performing in college, eventually writing, directing and
acting in his own plays for students and faculty. After graduating with honors from San
Jose State University, Milt Abel moved to San Francisco in search of a career in stand-up
comedy and a reasonably priced apartment – no easy task in San Francisco. "I'm
beginning to think that Adam and Eve's real punishment wasn't so much that they had to
leave the garden, as it was that they had to find another place..."
A headlining stand-up comedian for more than ten years, he has performed throughout the United States and Canada in venues ranging from corporate engagements to cruise ships, from television to bars masquerading as comedy clubs under names like "Ha Ha a Go Go."
When asked what got him into comedy, he replied, "The brochures were very alluring. There was also a campus recruiter who had set up a stand with a banner reading: 'Want to make people laugh at night and then sleep until noon?' Of course! That sounded great to me."
His favorite joke has been this: "A friend of mine spent his entire life trying to find the secret to immortality. You know what his dying words were? 'No, that's not it either.' "
Milt has appeared on PBS' "Comedy Tonight" hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, A&E's "Good Time Cafe," four spots on A&E's "Evening at the Improv," the Comedy Channel's "Comics Only" and "Two Drink Minimum" and Showtime's "Comedy Club Network."
What Others Say about Milt Abel --
PSS Communications:
"Our company has high expectations and your
act and its presentation had all attendees laughing hysterically for over thirty
minutes! You did a marvelous job adapting to the group and
making it an intimate show. Everyone who attended commented on what a fun and entertaining
event the company hosted and the main reason was Milt Abel!"
-- Gary W.
Fales, President
Intel:
"Our Intel group had a great time and enjoyed
your show tremendously. As our group consists largely of international cultures, it was
quite a task to cross so many cultural barriers and succeed so well. I've been told that
humor is a cultural identity, but you wouldn't know that during your performance. You made us laugh across the tables. I especially
appreciate that your material was clean and non-offensive. You respect the audience and
used the humor that touches us in universal ways: families, traffic, relationships. Many in the group felt this event was
the
best Intel had ever done! Thanks for an evening of laughter."
-- Karey Hart, Intel
Applied Decision Analysis, Inc.:

creative and funny and was void of frequently used negative and/or derogatory language and
innuendoes. Our entire company enjoyed his act and offered the following comments:
'What a great act! He appealed to a
wide-range audience.'
'He's hilarious! What a great idea. Who thought of this anyway?'
'Where did you find him? He's very funny!'
'I liked his style."
'He was funny and clean, which is unusual in the comedy business.'
'I could really relate to his conversation with his child, the one about Barney. I died
laughing!'

to the success of your party with his ability to make people laugh."
