Sam Bam's Comedy Jam

Sam Espanola, AKA Sam Bam, was born and raised in Stockton.

With encouragement from family, friends, and co-workers, Sam gave comedy a try.  He started out doing open mic night at a local comedy club and hasn’t slowed down. Sam Bam has been involved in the comedy scene for over 10 years.

Sam Bam has been featured on BET, Comic View, Coming to the Stage, and Latino Laugh Festival. In competing over the years, Sam made the finals in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition and was first runner up in the Bay Area Black Comedy Competition. He has performed with many headliners including Tony Roberts, Anjelah Johnson, Ralphie May, Eddie Griffin, and Katt Williams.

Even when Sam is not performing, he is still making people laugh. Sam Bam uses real life experiences to tell his story.  Whether it has happened to him, you, or someone you know, Sam will tell it like it is.  In the words of Mr. Sam Bam, “It wasn’t funny then, but it’s funny now!”
