Lucas Zelnick is recognizable from numerous viral clips filmed at his standup shows and posted
to TikTok. Zelnick began his comedy career five years ago when he founded Sesh Comedy, a
comedy club on the Lower East Side of NYC that he eventually sold so he could tour the U.S. In 2022 he began headlining comedy clubs across the country, including sold-out shows at the Helium and Zanies. Though Zelnick has amassed over 200 million views and hundreds of thousands of followers for his quick-witted crowd work, his shows are actually more joke-based, often touching on sensitive topics. Zelnick grew up in New York as a self-described rich kid, and even graduated from Stanford with an MBA in Business Administration, but challenges the comfort of his upbringing with his punchy material. He also co-hosts the podcast Can I Go Home Now and has an upcoming Comedy Central standup feature.
