Along with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, Andy Borowitz has been hailed as one of America’s leading satirists and providers of fake news. An award winning humorist, author, television personality and film actor, Andy Borowitz has been called a "Swiftian satirist” by The Wall Street Journal, which devoted a prestigious front page story to his work as one of America’s leading comic voices.
In 2001 he created www.BorowitzReport.com, which has won seven Dot Comedy awards and has millions of readers around the world. A daily fake news column, The Borowitz Report has migrated from the internet to newspapers, where it is now syndicated across the country in such newspapers as The Los Angeles Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer. In 2004 he won the first-ever award for humor given by The National Press Club.
In 2007 he turned his gift for fake news into a live stage show, Next Week's News, which played to packed houses at New York’s premiere comedy club, Caroline’s on Broadway, and had a sold-out run at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. As a stand-up comedian, he has toured the country and appeared at some of America’s top comedy clubs, and has performed at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. He has made countless television appearances including VH1’s Best Week Ever and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, and he is a regular commentator on National Public Radio’s “Weekend Edition Sunday.”
His writing appears in the pages of The New Yorker, The New York Times, Vanity Fair and Newsweek. He is the author several humor books including 2003’s Who Moved My Soap? The CEO’s Guide to Surviving in Prison, which became an instant Amazon best-seller a full month before publication. It received rave reviews around the world, including from The London Guardian, who called it “a strong candidate for our book of the year award.” His other books include The Borowitz Report: The Big Book of Shockers, a collection of some of his most popular internet columns and The Republican Playbook, which was published in October 2006.
In recent years, he has stepped in front of the camera as an actor, appearing in two films in 2004: Melinda and Melinda, directed by Woody Allen, and Marie and Bruce, starring Julianne Moore and Matthew Broderick. In a recent profile of him, The New York Daily News called Borowitz “a budding movie star.” He appears in Fired, which had its world premiere in January of 2007.
At the podium, Borowitz fuses cutting-edge content with on-target humor to create the perfect presentation to invigorate any business outing. An equal opportunity satirist, he delves into some of the most crucial issues of the day; politics, media, entertainment and the manias that sweep the nation are all fair game.
An acclaimed Hollywood producer, Esquire Magazine recognized him as one of the most powerful forces in television after he created the hit television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which launched the acting career of megastar Will Smith. Borowitz was awarded the NAACP Image Award for the series, which ran for six seasons and still airs in nearly 100 nations. He also produced the film Pleasantville, which was nominated for four Academy Awards.
Borowitz attended Harvard University, where he wrote The Hasty Pudding Show and was president of The Harvard Lampoon. He was a 2001 and 2005 finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor. In 2002, he was inducted into the Friars Club of New York.
