A native of Rochester, N.Y., Lissow graduated from Fredonia State with a degree in
math and psychology. He decided to abandon his plan to become a lawyer and entered
the world of stand-up comedy. A few years later, he was invited to audition for the
prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival where he earned a spot for 2001. Lissow signed
Dave Becky to be his personal manager. Becky is with 3ARTS Entertainment, which handles
Dave Atell, Mitch Hedberg and Chris Rock.
Lissow has appeared on 'The Late Late Show with Craig Kilbourne,' 'Late Friday,'
'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' and is a proud 'Star Search' loser. In 2005, Campus
Activities Magazine nominated Lissow for Campus Performer of the Year and he taped
for Comedy Central's "Premium Blend." Lissow resides in Los Angeles and tours nationally,
headlining at the nation's top comedy clubs.
