Art Garfield Bio

Art Garfield is a veteran comedian, actor, producer, director, writer, and voice-over artist. He began his career in stand-up comedy while attending Alabama State University as house M.C. at the Punchline Comedy Club in Montgomery, Alabama. Originally from East Elmhurst, Queens-New York and currently residing in Harlem, he has traveled the nation performing in the top comedy clubs, and on television on HBO'S Def Comedy Jam, Up-town Comedy Club and Showtime at The Apollo.

He made the natural progression from performer to writer with humorous award winning campaigns in advertising for the radio featuring Barry White for Anheuser-Bush Bud Light; and American Express/Money Gram, winning the coveted Mercury Award and London International Festival Award respectively for each campaign.

His advertising career led him to write other campaigns for leading brands Burger King, PEPSI, 3Musketeers and others!

Garfield also created and wrote award-winning TV commercial campaigns for super-star comedians Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac and Tony T. Roberts, for Pepsi and Burger King. He's appeared in numerous films and commercials as an actor (Mo Money, Boomerang, Wendy's and more...) but writing became his passion.

He's even tackled comedy writing for morning radio in the tough New York City market as head writer at #1 urban hip hop station Hot97 where he wrote for The Miss Jones in the Morning Show and was known for his hilarious prank telephone calls. Currently, he's writing sitcom pilots and has film projects in development.

Art can be seen on YouTube's Cineflix channel's movie review show called, "I Heard!" with fellow comedian JB SMOOVE (SNL, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Real Husbands of Hollywood) doing hilarious movie reviews of movies they've never seen!...lol... He's hit home runs with his every writing effort in sitcom, TV commercials and morning drive radio. With this being his first book we expect nothing less than another smash hit! The future holds more intriguing and revealing book projects from this well rounded talent, so stay tuned!
