Graham Elwood

Graham has been a stand-up comic for over 10 years working comedy clubs, colleges, TV shows, Holiday Inn Lounges, war zones, dive bars, and one time on the top of a double decker tour bus in Chicago. (not joking)

You’ve probably seen him on the TV like when he hosted the socially relevant game shows “Cram” (GSN) and “Strip Poker” (USA). Along with making the world a better place by appearing on shows like “Best Bodies Ever” on VH1. Don’t forget the time when he told jokes on “The Late Late Show” (CBS). Also has starred in the theatrical plays Speed the PlowLight SensitiveCash Flow and co-wrote the one act play Brothers.

He has directed the award winning short “Hello Junkie” (coming soon to CFN) and the stand-up comedy concert DVD “Graham Elwood: Live from Afghanistan”. Coming soon in 2008 he will release the feature length documentary “Laffghanistan” about his first trip telling jokes in a war zone. Scary, crazy, funny and always entertaining. Graham likes referring to himself in the 3rd person as he feels like a pro ballplayer. Graham Elwood will get it done one day at a time and hopefully will be there come playoffs.
