Liam McEneaney (born August, 1, 1986) is a comedian, writer,[1] producer, and filmmaker based out of Los Angeles. His television work includes standup on Showtime, Comedy Central, IFC, and Vh1.
Liam grew up in the Rego Park neighborhood of Queens, New York,[2] and has long been considered one of the best standup comedians to emerge from the borough.[3][4] Liam attended Queens College after dropping out of high school, leaving after a semester to tour professionally as a standup comedian.
As of 2024, Liam lives in Los Angeles and attends the prestigious University of Southern California's film school.[5]
Discography[edit]
Liam has released a pair of full-length comedy albums.
His first album, Liam McEneaney: Comedian,[6] was recorded at Brooklyn rock club Union Hall and released on ASpecialThing Records on October, 2013 at a large show/party at Brooklyn rock club The Bell House. The album release show was co-headlined by Gilbert Gottfried and Jim Gaffigan.[7]
Liam's second album, Working Class Fancy, was recorded at a sold-out show at The Bell House with opening act Colin Jost.[8] It was released September 11th, 2016, on Comedy Dynamics.
Tell Your Friends![edit]
In 2005, Liam McEneaney started a weekly standup show, "Tell Your Friends!", in the basement of a Lower East Side bar called Lolita, featuring famous comedians like Jim Gaffigan, Colin Jost, John Oliver, Janeane Garofalo, and Todd Barry. Liam created it as a way to give his comedians a chance to workshop new material and also rehearse their older material for television away from the comedy clubs[9]
In 2010, Liam produced and hosted Tell Your Friends! The Concert Film!, an attempt, he said,[10] to encapsulate the experience of watching his show in a 90-minute film, and starred many of his regular performers captured in live performance onstage at Brooklyn rock club The Bell House, as well as in pretaped interviews talking about New York's "alt comedy" scene.[11] It starred Reggie Watts, Kurt Braunohler & Kristen Schaal, and Christian Finnegan, and featured interviews with Gaffigan, Garofalo, Hannibal Buress, and Kumail Nanjiani. It was directed by Victor Varnado.
The Tell Your Friends! movie was invited to premiere at the 700-seat Venmo Theater at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival where it was very well-received,[12] and also screened at the Friar's Club Film Festival, the New York Comic-Con, and the Paley Center for Media.[13] It is currently in the Paley Center's permanent collection,[14] as is the Q&A session with director and cast.[15]
Podcast and radio appearances[edit]
In order to promote the Tell Your Friends! movie, McEneaney spent two years hosting Tell Your Friends! History's Greatest Podcast! Guests included Jim Gaffigan and his wife, Lewis Black and Gilbert Gottfried, novelists Lawrence Block and Jon Ronson, and musicians Kaki King and Mike Doughty.[16]
In addition, Liam has made multiple appearances on WTF with Marc Maron[17] both live and in studio. He has also appeared on The Howard Stern Wrap Up Show[18] on the Howard 101 channel on the SiriusXM satellite radio service.
