AL LUBEL
Former Lawyer
Al Lubel became a lawyer to please his mother and a comedian to please his sadistic need to torture her. After graduating law school, Al moved to Los Angeles, passed the bar exam on his first try, and immediately began the practice of stand-up comedy.
Lawyer by day and comedian by night, laughter followed him wherever he went - even into the courtroom. At the comedy clubs, the crowds would stare; in the courtroom the juries would laugh. Al Lubel gradually began getting work on the road, soon becoming a full-time comic. "I realized I had to give up the practice of law when clients would call me for legal advice at places like the St. Louis Funny Bone."
So Al Lubel quit law. This was a good decision because within a year he won the $100,000 Grand Prize on Star Search. The Tonight Show was another childhood fantasy. When Al Lubel heard Johnny Carson was retiring, he auditioned and became one of the last comics to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny. Jay Leno was watching that night and has since booked Al for numerous Tonight Show appearances, including the recurring character of NBC Legal Analyst.
Among Al's credits:
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (7 times)
$100,000 Grand Star Search Winner
NBC Legal Analyst (Character Comedian)
Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist
Win Ben Stein's Money (Comedy Central)
Showtime PBS/BBC "A Stand-up Life"
A&E's Evening at the Improv
MTV Stand-up Comedy
Even though comedy is his first love, Al Lubel admits to missing the practice of law. "I'd like to have one more trial, something serious like a murder trial. As my client's fate hangs in the balance, I'd like to see his reaction when I whisper in his ear…I'm a comedian!"
