Summary

Adam Delorey - the man who tells jokes with a broken heart. Literally. The man went into full heart failure at the age of 13 when his ejection fraction (heart function) was at 11%! Since then he's lived a somewhat normal life, although knew that one day he'd need a full heart transplant. Fast forward to today Adam is a touring stand up comedian wearing a machine (LVAD) on the outside of his body that keeps his failing heart ticking until he can go through with the transplant! From not having a pulse, to popping viagra, to including every last name he's ever known this week is full of the laughs! Adam's debut album Heartless is available for pre-sale on iTunes today!
