Adam Fields: The future of the future

Adam Fields studied, worked, lived and now does stand-up comedy. A Londoner now resident in Amsterdam, Adam brings laughter to international audiences with his animated style and British humour. With a background in improvisational comedy, his stand-up performances are peppered with spontaneous wit and schizophrenic leaps into other personalities. A lively and visual performer with broad material ranging from the political to the plain stupid.
