Max Turell

I've performed at the prestigious JUST FOR LAUGHS COMEDY FESTIVAL in Montreal, Canada and I was the youngest person to perform on THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON. I've also appeared on MTV's TRL (It was canceled 2 weeks later), COMEDY CENTRAL'S LIVE AT GOTHAM (canceled) and this past summer I was a semi-finalist on NBC'S LAST COMIC STANDING (canceled twice so far).
