Milt Abel first started performing in college, eventually writing, directing and acting in his own plays for students and faculty. After graduating with honors from San Jose State University, Milt Abel moved to San Francisco in search of a career in stand-up comedy and a reasonably priced apartment – no easy task in San Francisco. "I'm beginning to think that Adam and Eve's real punishment wasn't so much that they had to leave the garden, as it was that they had to find another place..."
A headlining stand-up comedian for more than ten years, he has performed throughout the United States and Canada in venues ranging from corporate engagements to cruise ships, from television to bars masquerading as comedy clubs under names like "Ha Ha a Go Go."
When asked what got him into comedy, he replied, "The brochures were very alluring. There was also a campus recruiter who had set up a stand with a banner reading: 'Want to make people laugh at night and then sleep until noon?' Of course! That sounded great to me."
