Zach Galifianakis headlined the Comedians of Comedy tour, a live alternative comedy show that toured through various rock venues across America. The tour was the subject of a self-titled documentary film for NetFlix and Showtime and a series on Comedy Central. They recently were the first comedy show to be a part of the world-famous Coachella Music Festival. The latest special,
The Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubadour, premieres on Comedy Central's Secret Stash September 29 at 1a/12c and
goes on sale October 2.
After failing his last college course by one point at North Carolina State University, Zach moved to New York City. His first stand-up gig was in the back of a hamburger restaurant in Times Square. In order to pay the bills, he worked as a nanny and house cleaner while doing stand-up at night in clubs and coffee houses in the city.
While working as a bus boy, he got his first acting job on a sitcom called "Boston Common" for NBC. He has since been seen on a number of late-night talk shows including "Letterman," "Conan" and "Jimmy Kimmel." His films include "Heartbreakers," "Bubble Boy," "Below," "Corky Ramano," "Out Cold" and "The Comedians of Comedy." He was also a series regular playing Davis on "Tru Calling" for Fox.
He also hosted his own critically-acclaimed but short-lived talk show for VH1 titled "Late World with Zach."
He continues to travel the country doing stand-up in rock clubs, coffee houses and universities.
Galifianakis lives in Venice Beach, California and also lives part-time on his farm in the mountains of North Carolina.
He was also featured in the COMEDY CENTRAL series, "Dog Bites Man" playing the role of Alan Finger.
