Sam Miller is an American comedian from Olympia, Washington. He has headlined across the United States, and released his debut album Round Trip on Stand Up! Records in 2023.[1][2][3][4] His work is known for dealing frankly with issues of homelessness and drug addiction; Miller has been sober since 2008.[5][6] Seattle magazine City Arts called Miller "an endearingly positive presence" in the comedy scene of the Pacific Northwest.[7][8]
Early life
Miller was born in a military hospital at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington.[6] Miller's father, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, died when Miller was 12.[9] His mother, now retired, was a psychiatric nurse practitioner.[7] He grew up in Spanaway, Washington; after his father's death, the family moved to nearby Olympia.[10][6][11]
