Sam Grim is a stand-up comedian based in the Lehigh Valley. He started out as a naturally funny kid who used humor as a defense mechanism after getting picked on in school.

His first attempt at performing stand-up came after a personal tragedy—his dog died, and he used that moment as a push to try comedy at an open mic. However, after a rough first set, he took a long break before returning to the scene and refining his style​.

Sam continues to perform in local comedy clubs and open mics, refining his craft while experimenting with new material and crowd interactions. His ability to mix structured jokes with a seemingly off-the-cuff delivery sets him apart as an engaging and unpredictable comedian.
