Hello. I’m
Slade Ham

Hailing from Houston, Slade Ham has performed in 60 countries on six continents. His new full-length theater special, Signal/Noise, releases soon. Ham has headlined Sirius/XM’s Best of Texas as well as the feature length The Whiskey Brothers Comedy Special. His latest special looks at what is and isn’t important in our lives, and it showcases his signature storytelling style alongside clever social commentary.

Offstage, you can read Until All the Dragons Are Dead, his collection of critically acclaimed stories. Ham also hosts the weekly Slade Ham Experiment, the wildly popular bi-weekly Whiskey Brothers Podcast, and is featured in over 30 episodes of Slade Runner, a travel series following his adventures around the globe. His live show is what does best, however. It’s stand-up all the way down.

Sora and AI Film Making

There’s a lot of talk about the capabilities of Sora, the AI text-to-film generator. There’s no escaping that artificial intelligence will play an inevitable role in our entertainment from here forward. As an entertainer I worry about this, though perhaps not as much as my graphic design, fine art, photographer, and filmmaker friends. It has implications in a variety of written mediums as well, from novels to screenplays. My Kindle home page is already full of LLM-written children’s books....

What Myth Persists?

I often think about how quickly stories can change. How I can’t turns to I can just because it has no choice. I think about the things we hold to be true at any given time. I’m not smart enough. I’m not very creative. Good things never happen to me. Here’s one I hear a lot: I can’t listen to the sound of my own voice. That’s a big one. When I ask other comics if they watch tape of their sets, many tell me no. And the majority of those cite not being able to listen to themselves on tape as the...

We Did It!

Hello from the edge of the universe! That’s how far you’ve got to walk to get things done sometimes. We’re sliding into the last remaining hours of 2023, and in them, I get to present the trailer for Signal/Noise! We’re a bit behind schedule, but all of it for good reason. We (myself and my creative team) decided to delay the finished film slightly to add a few bells and whistles. The opening of the special is a real piece of art, I think, and the final edit on the special itself is light...

Make a Comedy Special With Me!

The Kickstarter for my new comedy special is officially live! Join My Kickstarter Here! A little about me if you're arriving as a stranger: I've been doing stand up comedy for 23 years. I'm a curious kid from Southeast Texas who probably wasn't supposed to leave, yet I've inexplicably performed in 58 countries on six continents (a lot of that for the US military positioned overseas). In those years I've released a few albums, written a book, directed specials for other comics, made a few...

Group Therapy

Comedians are solo artists by nature. Us and our microphones, taking the lumps and the victories and putting them in our front passenger seats when we leave the show. I’m used to doing the whole thing, no matter the thing. Corporations have departments to handle different aspects of a product. I, on the other hand, conceptualize, sketch, build, edit, ship, and field all the customer service emails myself. My kind of process allows for a specific kind of result. I can do anything I want to, but...
