One of comedy’s most interesting stand-up comics, Brian Posehn, is ready to talk nerdy to you. The self proclaimed “metal nerd comedian” impressingly navigates many entertainment niches after coming up first in comedy.

Posehn achieved his initial success as a writer and actor on the highly influential, cult classic sketch comedy show, Mr. Show. He was also one of the original members of The Comedians of Comedy. The Comedy Central special followed Posehn on tour along with other comedy heavyweights such as Patton Oswalt and Maria Bamford.

These days, Brian is best known from his recurring role on The Big Bang Theory and starring appearances on The Sarah Silverman Program.
