Brian Malow began his stand up career in Austin, Texas, while working toward a Masters in Television Production. A 10-year veteran of the comedy club circuit, he has performed in nearly 40 states (and has shown no interest in the others). He has been featured in such diverse places as the Austin Chronicle, Cat Fancy magazine, and the Arts & Entertainment Network (you know, those cable television showcases that effectively killed the public's interest in stand up?).

A life-long fan of science and science fiction, Brian has developed a brand of intelligent, imaginative comedy that takes delight in playful use of language, and is shot-through with a healthy dose of science references. His clean, energetic style has also made him a favorite at colleges and for corporate clients such as Dell, Apple, Honeywell, Texaco and 3M.

In 1991, the astronauts aboard the space shuttle mission STS-44, while in orbit around the Earth, listened to a recording of his Neil Armstrong routine. And they laughed.

His first foray into independent feature filmmaking (as producer and co-star) resulted in a premiere at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, where he did not meet Robert Redford. Los Enchiladas!, directed by fellow comic Mitch Hedberg, is currently not available in any format.

For the past four years, Brian has enjoyed living in San Francisco, California. This scenic center of arts and technology has proven a fertile ground for honing his craft. Here he has also embarked on a new venture as producer and host of a live internet talk show, while continuing to perform at Bay Area comedy clubs and for corporate clients nationwide.
