About Adam
Actor. Comedian. Car guy. Adam brings raw, honest laughs with a Long Island edge.
Adam Ferrara: Stage, Screen & High Octane
Dubbed “hilarious” by Entertainment Weekly, Adam Ferrara is a rare hybrid in entertainment: a powerhouse stand-up comedian and a critically acclaimed dramatic actor.
From his breakout role as Chief Needles Nelson on FX’s Rescue Me to starring opposite Edie Falco in Nurse Jackie, Adam has proven his range across the board. His film credits include Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Definitely, Maybe, while his guest appearances span hits like NCIS, The Good Fight, and Law & Order.
The Comedy & The Cars
A two-time American Comedy Awards nominee, Adam has three Comedy Central specials to his name and has performed at iconic venues from Carnegie Hall to Radio City Music Hall. His latest comedy album, It’s Scary in Here, debuted at #1 on iTunes, and his hit podcast, The Adam Ferrara Podcast, is a critic-favorite "must-listen."
For six seasons, Adam co-hosted Top Gear USA, where he famously pushed supercars to 180mph and jumped a ’76 Cadillac 46 feet in the air—all fueled by a lifelong love of muscle cars born in his father's Long Island garage.
“Adam Ferrara is a great comedian, but he’s really pissing me off now because he’s become such a great dramatic actor.”
