Watching SLADE HAM perform is somewhat akin to getting hit in the face with a really, really funny baseball bat. He has spent the last decade carving a very noticeable niche for himself in the stand up comedy world.


Slade averages two-hundred shows a year in the United States and he’s performed in twenty-two different countries on four continents. In 2006, Slade had the honor of headlining XM Radio’s Best of Texas two hour special, and his CD, Redemption, still remains one of XM Comedy’s most requested. Redemption also features original music from Kevin Martin of Candlebox fame, and receives almost daily airplay on XM Channel 150.

Slade toured with Christopher Titus and opened for the taping of the 5th Annual End of the World Tour at the 2007 South Beach Comedy Festival. Slade directed in starred in the short film A Fist Full of Pills and it lost to Kevin Pollack at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. He’s also a regular on The Bob & Tom Show. You even saw him in ring at Wrestlemania XXV. That last part is totally made up.

These are not, however, the most meaningful things to Slade's career.

Slade’s real passions are the road, traveling the world and collecting stories. Of all of his accomplishments, Slade is most proud of getting to take his show to the United States military twice a year for the last decade. He was telling jokes in Germany two weeks after 9/11, he’s hopped from base to base across Japan and Korea for the Air Force, and has been dropped off by Blackhawk helicopter to do spontaneous sets for soldiers in the Iraqi desert. When not on stage, he drinks Irish whiskey on the rocks and listens to rock and roll much too loud. One day he hopes to write a book, host a travel show, and continue to trick the world into paying him to do the things he loves to do. He keeps a very expensive storage unit in Houston, TX.
