The Buzz on Comedian Ed Blaze

If laughter is a universal language, then nobody speaks that language better than

comedian Ed Blaze. Humor has been a source of comfort and escape for Blaze since his

childhood, and now he brings his voice in the form of comedy to share with the world.

Ed was raised by his grandparents in a small village located in Central East Africa, and

was no stranger to adversity or humility. He slept on a small, goat skinned rug, and rats were

constant house guests in the hut where he and his grandparents lived. Rather than focus on

the negative, Blaze found humor in the world around him, and pursued his dream of being a

professional comedian.

Blaze’s comedic style is relaxed and friendly, giving an intimate style to even the largest

venues. He frequently draws comparisons between the United States and his African roots, and

points out contrasts that are both hilarious and thought-provoking. His unique style has had

him center stage as an opener for celebrated names such as Jim Gaffigan, Ralphie May, and Erin

Foley.

As someone with a wide variety of interests and experiences, it’s no surprise that Ed

Blaze’s talents expand beyond the stage. To him, comedy is about spreading joy and laughter,

and through his entertainment company, Metro Comedy Entertainment, which allows him to

promote other artists all over the world, and his written works, including the recently released

book, “World Peace is Comedy”, that’s exactly what Ed Blaze does. The book is available on

Amazon, and details further the comedian’s childhood, his inspiration, and his feelings on

comedy, friendship, and building relationships through laughter.
