Simon Cadel started performing stand-up comedy two-years ago while at Long Lake Camp for the Performing Arts. He took comedy classes in Manhattan at The Gotham Comedy Club where he performed in showcases, and developed a real passion/addiction for making people laugh. Videos of his performances and original songs which were posted on YouTube led to bookings at The Comic Strip Live and New York Comedy Club for prime weekend shows alongside established adult comedians. He’s been described as a comedian who “happens to be a kid,” not a “kid comedian.” His material is smart, observational, and high-energy, inspired by some of his favorites: Brian Regan, Demitri Martin and Jim Gaffigan. Recently he was approached by the casting folks at America’s Got Talent to audition for their upcoming 9th season. They found him through YouTube. Their search term? “Kid Comedian.” Proof that social media, plus content, can make a big impact.
