Adomian appeared this year in Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution, a Netflix doc produced by Wanda Sykes and Page Hurwitz, which examines the growth of the LGBTQ comedy community. He was a top 10 finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and has appeared at countless comedy festivals, including Just For Laughs in Montreal, SXSW Comedy, Moontower Comedy Fest in Austin, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
