Keith Alberstadt grew up the son of a Vanderbilt professor and a craft artist. The result . . . a very clever comic with sharp perception, creative sarcasm, and a treasure trove of unique material. His likable personality and down-to-earth charm invite people into his brand of humor — one that is smart but not brainy and relatable but not hacky.
“He’s funny, and it’s a smart funny.”
–Kathleen Madigan, Last Comic Standing
While performing, Keith takes pride in laughing at himself and his “inner dork”, which he demonstrates is something in all of us. Current events, popular trends, personal details . . . Keith shares his witty insight on everything, all the while doing it with a mischievous smile that quickly becomes infectious.
A regular performer for the U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Keith has been described as “absolutely hilarious” by Armed Forces Entertainment and “a hidden gem” by the Boston Globe.
