Brandon Wardell
Biography
Brandon Wardell is an American comedian and writer who grew up in Fairfax, Virginia and began performing stand-up at open mics at 17, soon appearing at comedy hours around Washington, D.C. That local success brought him to SXSW and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in 2012 and a Washington Post feature that October. An agent came across that article and brought him to Los Angeles in 2013. Bob Odenkirk featured him on the live comedy album Amateur Hour in 2014, a booking that drew criticism from fans and reviewers. He toured with Bo Burnham in 2015, hosted the Comedy Central Snapchat series Hot Takes, and made his television debut on @midnight in January 2016. He has written for Vice, The Washington Post and Four Pins and co-hosts the podcast Yeah, But Still.
