aathan has been honing his comedic chops from the day he was born and performing original stand up comedy since high school where he created a comedy club, “The League of Unknown Comics,” where he would perform on a weekly basis. Here are a few of his sets from venues he’s performed at over the years. Warning, some of these clips may contain language that is not appropriate for all ages, comparable to a PG-13 rating. Naathan is also a master of improv and ad-libbing, making him a pro at dealing with hecklers, verbally audacious youngsters, and inebriated adults. Here are some examples of him in various improvisational performance capacities.
Naathan has been featured in Columbia Pictures’ smash hit comedy, Superbad, both in the theatrical release and the bonus features on the DVD/Blu-Ray as well as Comedy Central’s Tosh.0 and Reno 911! In the world of theatre, he has performed at local and regional theatres throughout Southern California. He has been in the original casts of several shows including JUNK: A Rock Opera and LA’s cult sensation, All About Walken. In 2007, he was awarded a guest spot in the national tour of RENT one night at the Orange County Performing Arts Center (now the Segerstrom Center for the Arts). Naathan’s elastic range and knack for vocal mimicry makes him adept at modifying his singing to match a multitude of music styles, including classical/opera, musical theatre, jazz, rock, pop, and more! Whether you want a rich, deep baritone, an effortless, full-bodied tenor, or even that classic Bee-Gees or Frankie Valli sound, Naathan can bring the voice you want to any event you can imagine. On a tight budget? Naathan has access to high quality instrumental tracks to pipe in through your sound system (or he can bring his own!) Want that live band sound?
