BRIAN DIAMOND - Writer, Actor
The words used to describe Brian Diamond… cannot be used on Network Television.
Some people have labeled him “Everyone’s Best Friend”, while others have referred to him as “THAT @#$%^&*!” At times, he has simply been known as “the defendant.” Not to say he’s been in trouble, but one time his headshot was posted outside a courthouse with the words “Appearing all this week.”
Originally from Sacramento, California, Brian Diamond has been a non-profit actor and comedian since 1990. By 2002, he had been in all 50 states: the state of shock, the state of confusion, the state of…you get the joke. No really, he performed stand-up comedy in all 50 states in America—and nine countries.
Along the way, Brian Diamond honed his skills as an actor. He’s had small roles in movies. If you’ve seen Avatar, Independence Day, The Matrix… well, Brian Diamond appeared in none of those. For the roles he’s been in, if you blink, you might miss him. His credits include “Man with glass” and “Man in car.” As for television, he has often been seen on…the editing room floor.

It is a pleasure to be bringing to the stage Brian's one-man show. He has performed this many times over in the past few years and so I truly appreciate his willingness to have me step in and change things up a little. We hope you enjoy this night of laughs, heartbreak, and discovery.
