Adam Cayton-Holland

Writer and Comedian

Adam Cayton-Holland is an American writer and fantastic comedian who might be best known as his character Loren Payton on the TruTV series “Those Who Can’t.” The show inspired a serious cult following and enjoyed three critically acclaimed seasons that co-starred Adam’s The Grawlix partners Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy. The series also spotlighted frequent guest stars Patton Oswalt, Rory Scovel and the Sklar Brothers.

But “Those Who Can’t” was green lit at exactly the worst time in Adam’s entire life. Adam was feeling the tremendous high of having his dreams fulfilled of working on his very own television show at the very same time that he was struggling with the devastation and grief he felt after his beloved younger sister Lydia committed suicide.

This emotional conflict led Adam on a journey of healing and therapy which resulted in his book, “Tragedy Plus Time,” a darkly funny memoir and tribute to his sister.

Adam consistently tours the country as a stand-up. He also has a one-man show called, “Happy Place” which is about his grief journey and his sister Lydia.
