Bio:
Upstate New York native James Tierney began his comedy career in his Sophomore Year of college
participating in the annual comedy contest put on by the Activities Board. The hard work of
preparing his college-related humor paid off as he placed second among ten peers to take home
the big prize of a 100 dollar mall gift certificate. Since then the 21-year-old has only
expanded in shows, material and mostly having fun. Given an opportunity to open for
New Jersey comedian Jay Black (www.jayblackcomedy.com) at Marist College in Poughkeepsie NY,
James showed off his potential and was offered other opening spots for Jay at Union College
in Schenectady NY and Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica NY. James has also opened
for Steve Byrne (www.stevebyrne.com), the host of the new hit series The Real Wedding Crashers
on NBC. Besides colleges James has been seen doing the local comedy scene in Western
Massachusetts and has shared the stage with Sugar Sammy (www.sugarsammy.com) at the Comedy Works
in Montreal, Quebec (www.comedyworksmontreal.com) and at the
Hartford Funny Bone (www.hartfordfunybone.com) in Manchester CT. Not knowing where
this comedy will take him James takes every stage with enthusiasm and passion for the art
of comedy. You can catch his material and info on his myspace page
