Max Lehman

Actor/Writer/Producer

United States

Max Lehman is an LA-based comedian/writer/actor who remains a proud New Yorker, raised by neurotic Jewish New Yorkers in the cowboy-hat-wearing-techno -pumping-countryside of northern New Jersey.
Max graduated from Hofstra University in 2012 with dual degrees in English and Drama.
He studied improv at UCB, scene study with the Actors Alliance Studio in NYC, and completed the UCLA Professional Screenwriting Program.

Max has performed stand-up in New York City, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Maryland, and Hawaii.

Max's stand-up oscillates between sincere personal stories, and short glib spots of manic, irreverent humor whether that's a cheeky one-liner or a character whose very existence is a punchline.

As a screenwriter, Max loves to write layered comedies with heroes you love to root for and villains we have in all of us. His blend of honest storytelling, and funny scenarios keep you turning the page until we fade to black. He has a passion for all things horror, giant monsters, and sci-fi, but savors the discovery to show us why we care when the monster says 'ouch!'

He is the quiet nerdy guy in your group turned into a manic ball of controlled chaos on the stage. Just the perfect guy to talk to if you’d like to discuss family issues over bagels.
