Liam Sullivan is the director/performer behind LiamShow.com, a collection of funny short films created by and starring Liam.   In late 2006, Liam's musical comedy video "Shoes" went viral on YouTube, spawning hundreds of fan remakes and launching Liam's character Kelly into internet stardom.  "Shoes" was selected as a viral video to watch by "Entertainment Weekly," was chosen as one of the top 10 videos of 2007 by YouTube, and went on to win the People's Choice Award for "Favorite User-Generated Video" in 2007.   As of this writing, "Shoes" on YouTube has received over 25 million views.

In 2006, Liam released his comedy album, Shoes on iTunes, and to date has sold over 300,000 downloads.

Liam's video "Muffins", a commercial parody, has become another YouTube smash, with his original posting and fans' re-postings of the video combining for over 20 million views. His follow-up to "Shoes", "Let Me Borrow That Top", in which Liam plays five of the main characters, was nominated for a 2007 YouTube Video Award in Comedy, and has received over 13 million views.

With his vast, diverse and loyal fan following in tow, Liam has taken his act on tour, performing live and screening new videos as a headliner at the House of Blues in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theaters in New York and Los Angeles, Bamboozle in New Jersey and at numerous colleges across the country.   Last fall he performed as Kelly in the off-Broadway hit, The Sensuous Woman, and was hailed by the New York Times as being "even funnier live."  Liam recently completed a nationwide tour with comedian Margaret Cho, showcasing new videos and live performances.

Liam got his start as an actor in Boston, performing in plays from Shakespeare to Stoppard.  He then moved to Los Angeles, where he discovered his talent for improv and sketch comedy.  He joined the ACME Sketch Comedy Theater and quickly earned a spot in their main company.  Liam began writing his own material and shooting videos in 2004.  In addition to directing, writing, editing and performing his own material, he is also an experienced TV and film actor, and has been featured on the TV shows 8 Simple Rules, Gilmore Girls, Alias, and in the movie The Convent.  In the fall of 2007 he became a series regular in the VH1 series I Hate My 30s, a show produced by Drama34 Productions.

Liam continues to direct his own videos, and is constantly writing new material.   Watch for new videos, new characters and more insanity to be introduced on LiamShow.com in 2009.  "It's all about having fun," says Liam.  "My videos are provocative and strange, but mostly, I'm just aiming for hilarious."

Liam's favorite interview ever was with Zach Kaplan from the Austin College Observer:

"LET'S GO GET SOME SHOES!"
I recently had the opportunity to interview comedian/musician/actor Liam Sullivan, creator of the character Kelly and her hit song "Shoes" and co-star of VH1's I Hate My 30's.

Did you do "Shoes"?
Yes.

Are you enjoying the interview so far?
Immensely. Is it over?

Did you know you have an imdb.com page?
Yes. I'm part of the system! It's the cost to be the boss!

Are you related to Liam Neeson?
He is my older brother. That made it much easier for my mother to remember our names.

Liam Lynch?
He is my younger brother. Mom liked to keep things really simple.

Jet Li?
He is my nemesis.

Do you plan on working with any of these people?
I only will work with people named Liam. Liam Gallagher (who is totally
related to me too) and I are releasing an album called "Liam Squared:
MOTHERF***ERS." It's mostly jazz. It's gonna totally rock!

Thomas Jefferson once said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident." Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
These truths are totally self-evident. I absolutely agree. He made a good point there. Although you can't argue with Lincoln when he said, "Four score and seven years ago." That's just some straight truth shot in your veins.

What about Will Smith? Have you ever met him?
Excuse me? We're besties! We had French toast together on Wednesday. We talk on the phone until like 2 in the morning sometimes.

Have you seen I Am Legend yet?
They stole my idea! I had that idea when I was in college! I was really
high!

If yes, don't you think it was cool when Will Smith shot the zombie? If no, what do you think about Will Smith shooting a zombie and wouldn't it be cool?
I think Will Smith's best moment was when he punched an alien in the
face and said, "Welcome to Earth, bitch." That film was called, Born on the Fourth of July, and it was a masterpiece.

Wasn't Men in Black awesome?
COMPLETELY AWESOME. Who among us does not love David Cross?

Remember the music video for Men in Black?
I'm watching it right now. More David Cross, please!

How much does Will Smith influence your work?
Will Smith is a happy little tree, and I'm Bob Ross. Next question.

Remember Fresh Prince?
Yes. Smell you later!

Do you think that the world would be a better place without wars?
Best interview question ever.

What was it like to be on Gilmore Girls?
I loved being on the Gilmore Girls. They couldn't get me off them,
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

What are the Gilmore Girls like in person?
Scratchy and screamy.

Where do you get your ideas?
I think from the cosmos. Or just my strange brain.

But those two things are made from the same stuff, actually, aren't they?
OH.
