Alex Koll is a self‐described 'Funnyman and Entertainmenter of variable power and speed.' Developing a taste for the absurd at an early age, Alex's comedy has grown organically to reflect a far‐reaching creativity that has two dirty sneakers planted firmly on the ground. His act dips and weaves between what's right in front of us all and unexpected forays into the strange. Following his Comedy Central debut and a "Best of the New Faces" nod at the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival, Alex released Wizard Hello, his first comedy album on Rooftop Comedy's label. Recorded live at his home club, The San Francisco Punch Line, it showcases his signature plain‐wrapped whimsy with a few odd musical treats thrown in for good measure. '...What makes Koll's act special is how he bridges the gulf between askew alt‐comedy and grounded, observational humor. It's a rare quality in the alternative‐comedy community, where many are intent on outquirking one another. Whether going on obscure tangents or offering up more straightforward observations, Koll's comic voice is his own.' ‐ SF Weekly
