Moses Jacob Storm (born May 6, 1992) is an American writer, actor, and comedian, who has appeared in film, radio, and television.

Early life[]

Moses Storm was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan as one of six children of missionary parents. Storm and his siblings were raised by their religious parents on a converted Greyhound Bus after he reached the age of two. Moses was mostly homeschooled by his mother. From a young age, he watched Conan O'Brien by recording the episodes over Christian learning video tapes.

Storm attended one semester of community college for video production but diverged from the course. Upon recognising his skill as a performer, he moved to Los Angeles and took a cleaning job. He claims that he then became a comedian when he realised he was "good at nothing else."[1]

In 2018, Storm headlined a show at The Kennedy Center.[6] He also performed at the 2018 SF Sketchfest in shows with Fred Armisen and Jacqueline Novak.[7]
