Adam Grabowski

Making a name for yourself in the college market is no simple task. It takes a great deal of talent, hard work, and discipline. Adam Grabowski has been working diligently to become a big name in the college market. His diligence and work ethic have led him to be this year's Fastest Rising Star.

Adam's rise in the college market has been due to several factors. One is Adam's passion for creating the best show possible at each campus where he performs. "I am not separate from my comedy. When I am performing, I am just me. I joke on stage the same way I would if I were having a conversation with another person. I feel this approach allows the audience to connect with me easier. Each show I do is different. I like to joke about stuff on that particular campus and choose my set based on what I learn about that campus and its students before the show."

At 24 years of age, Adam has no difficulty relating to his audience because he is still in the same age bracket. Being able to relate to any audience is essential and Adam does so flawlessly, sharing his unique vision of the world around him in his show.

Social networking has played another huge role in Adam's success. He spends a great deal of time updating his social networks and keeping in touch with those he meets on the road. "Keeping up with people is very important to me. But I do my best to keep in touch without being annoying. That's the reason I give out slap bracelets and Dunkaroo's at conferences. It's a fun way for to be remembered."

Until recently, Adam was a self represented act in the market and it gave him the opportunity to learn the Campus Programming business on his own.

A few months ago he joined with Nancy Oeswein at the Auburn Moon Agency. "I actually didn't think I would go with an agency this time last year, but I always found myself talking with Nancy and asking questions because I respected her opinion. I even found myself referring to her as my favorite agent. So I thought, why not make this official" And we did. I still feel that face time with students is very important when building relationships so I make a point to be at the conferences and spend time networking to build those lasting relationships."

But for students and advisors, Adam is simply a joy to be around. "When I am on stage I want to be entertaining in the same way I want to be entertaining when I am just hanging out. I put forth an effort in all situations, whether on the stage or off to be approachable and enjoyable."

2012's Fastest Rising Star, Adam Grabowski's star is certain to shine for years to come.
