Alan Lebetkin is a multifaceted comedian known for his offbeat perspective and razor-sharp wit. Born and raised in North Carolina, Alan’s early influences were great Southern humorists like Mark Twain and David Sedaris. Bold, opinionated comedians like Bill Hicks later drew him to stand-up comedy, where he honed his comedy skills performing in some of the toughest rooms throughout the country. Today, Alan writes and performs material across many different genres, including sketch, stand-up, videos, blogging, short stories, and unconventional performance pieces. Alan is known to take risks and attempt technically challenging live comedy bits incorporating video, PowerPoint presentations, Photoshop, and improvisation.
Alan graduated from Duke University in 2003 with degrees in English and film. After moving to Los Angeles, he quickly became a regular comedy writer at the Upright Citizens Brigade and iO West theaters. His involvement at iO West grew into a role as producer and writer for the weekly Mainstage Sketch Show. That show continues to earn praise at the theater and beyond for attempting bold, risky sketches outside the mainstream. Alan also regularly performs on the monthly Desk Piece Nation show at iO West, which showcases writers for Conan O’Brien.
When he’s not doing comedy, Alan enjoys working out, listening to rap music, fixing computers, and creating graphics and websites. Check out the links at the right for some examples of his work online.
