Adam Burkett graduated from Second City Detroit (before HockeyTown); and Wayne State University (when they were Tartars).  He is a founding member of Motor City Improv, performing in the first three revues: His and Hurricane, The Bare Wit Project and Buffet for Vampire Slayers.  After time in New York, Adam's official return to the line-up was with Naughty or Nice: Motor City Improv is Naughty!  In addition, he performed in the Second City alternative productions, Darwin's Creek and The McGlaughlin.

He also co-wrote and performed in the original sketch comedy show, Sardines, at the Planet Ant in Hamtramck and The Poor Alex Theatre in Toronto.  Adam's New York credits include writing and reporting for RentWars.com; performing in the Nutshell Festival of one act plays at Manhattan Theater Space; and regularly participating in Jeffrey Sweet's Improv for Playwrights workshops.

Adam's dramatic start was playing the role of Ronnie in John Patrick Shanley's Welcome to the Moon, performed at the gloriously restored Trenton Theatre.
