Jacob Albarella

The TEDxBuffalo team welcomes Buffalo native and actor Jacob Albarella as our MC for this year’s event!

Albarella has been acting professionally for the past 10 years. He has done short films, features, commercials, improv comedy, and is a four-time Artvoice Artie nominee for his work on stage. Some notable projects of his include Avenue Q and Tommy at MusicalFare Theatre, A Year with Frog and Toad with Theatre of Youth, and Cannibal: the Musical and his world premiere original Captain Jett Bettington and the Adventures on Planet Earth with Theater Jugend.

Albarella is also co-founder and manager of the House of Munch food truck, which serves fried dough, birch beer and other carnival treats. House of Munch is just one of the many delicious restaurants currently “in motion” in Buffalo.

Jake says he’s excited to be a part of TEDxBuffalo 2014, and we’re excited to have him hosting the festivities on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
