Max Meisel Live!

Max Meisel is an LA-based, New York-born comedian currently featuring for Tom Arnold
on his sixty city, twelve-month stand-up tour around the United States and Canada aptly
titled “My Crazy X-Wife” Comedy Tour. 2026 birthed his first headlining tour, “L.A.
Sober” taking him to corners of the United States he never knew existed.

Max is also the host and producer of BackDoor Comedy, a monthly comedy party
combining music, a dance party, food pop-up, social mixer, and great comedy show.
The event has been featured in E! News showcasing its unique take on live comedy and
made its festival debut at the New York Comedy Festival in November 2025. After
bringing the show to both coasts over the course of three years, BackDoor Comedy will
be at the Netflix is a Joke Festival in Los Angeles in May 2026.

While Max desperately wants you to know he’s from New York, he can’t hide how happy
he is living near the beach in Santa Monica as opposed to near the smelly, rat-infested
subway station on 14 th Street and 1 st Ave. Truth be told, a comedy career is choice #2
for Max. All he ever wanted in life was to play football for the New York Giants, but there
are not a lot of 5’4” Jewish football players in today’s world. While attending Syracuse
University Max walked on to the football team and became the punt returner, getting his
head ripped off multiple times. He definitely has CTE, which explains a lot, but he loves
solo traveling, eating Italian food, and thoroughly enjoys watching his entire family fight
with each other during holidays, weddings, bar mitzvahs, and other would-be
celebratory events.
