Jerry Kahn
Event inquiry form
I'm a NYC-based stand-up comedian, who is into sports (especially baseball), muscle cars, computers, partying, helping people, hanging out with friends, reading, TV, travelling around the country and around the world, and writing. I've written a sitcom, comedy sketches, and am working on a movie. I hope to soon break the Guinness World Record for the most jokes told in one hour. I cover the comedy scene for several magazines.
I have also done extensive baseball research, which can be found at the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library, the Society for American Baseball Research, Baseball Ink, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, and in several books, including Total Baseball.
I enjoy meeting new people, which happens constantly.
