Liam McEneaney is a stand-up comedian, writer, and filmmaker originally from New York City and now based in Los Angeles. Widely regarded as one of the top comedians working today, Liam has also built a career as a sought-after writer and producer.

His debut solo comedy special, Liam McEneaney: West Coasting, premieres on Amazon Prime in October 2025. The special blends personal storytelling with cultural commentary, covering everything from haunted houses and conspiracy theories to heartbreak and American decline.

Liam began performing stand-up at 19, headlining colleges across the U.S. and touring internationally throughout Europe. By 24, he appeared on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, followed by two seasons as a panelist on VH1’s Best Week Ever.

In 2013, Liam released his debut comedy album Liam McEneaney: Comedian through ASpecialThing Records. It debuted at #1 on both the iTunes and Amazon comedy charts, where it continues to chart. His follow-up, Working Class Fancy (Comedy Dynamics, 2016), remains a consistent bestseller across streaming platforms.

Liam also produced and starred in the acclaimed concert film Tell Your Friends! The Concert Film!, featuring Reggie Watts, Kurt Braunohler, Kristen Schaal, and Christian Finnegan. It premiered at SXSW and screened at venues including the Paley Center for Media and San Diego Comic-Con.

As a writer and media personality, Liam McEneaney has appeared on WTF with Marc Maron, NPR’s Morning Edition, John Fugelsang’s Tell Me Everything, and The Howard Stern Wrap-Up Show. He’s a favorite of local morning radio shows and has been profiled by outlets including The Wall Street Journal, GQ Spain, and more.

His screenwriting work has also gained recognition: in both 2019 and 2024, his scripts (The Prophet Moses: NYPD and Red Thunder) were named quarterfinalists in the Academy Nicholl Fellowships.

Liam’s work spans stand-up, film, television, podcasting, and publishing—always with a focus on storytelling that entertains and lands.
