Lee Camp

In 2017, Camp created the Common Censored podcast along with Eleanor Goldfield which focuses on grass roots activism issues.

On December 16, 2013, Camp appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

He began to write humorous material when he was 12; Camp's humorous columns were printed in the high school literary magazine. Upon arriving at the University of Virginia, he won a competition to become the humor columnist for the school newspaper "The Cavalier Daily". Camp then wrote a weekly humor column for all four years he attended the university. He began performing stand-up comedy on his 19th birthday at an open-mic night at Matt's Pub in Richmond. At Richmond Comedy Club, Camp gained his first paying gigs. He also performed regularly throughout the rest of his time at the University of Virginia, opening for Jimmy Fallon, Darrell Hammond, Lewis Black, and Tracy Morgan when they came to do shows at the school. In his final year of college, Camp self-published a book of his humor columns entitled Neither Sophisticated Nor Intelligent. Upon graduation he moved to New York City.

His web series Moment of Clarity started in March 2011. It became a short podcast as well in June 2011. There have been over 240 episodes.

Camp was a staff writer for the TV comedy Inside the Cinema (2009). He also frequently featured on the Showtime show The Green Room with Paul Provenza. He is now the host and head writer of the weekly comedy news show Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp, which airs every Friday at 8pm EST on the Russian financed RT America. Jason Zinoman wrote in The New York Times that his appearance on the channel: "raises questions about the comedian’s independence." He told Rachel Manteuffel of The Washington Post Magazine that the Russian government funds his show, explaining "One of the reasons I'm at RT America is because there’s no advertising. If there were advertising, no channel really wants someone who goes after corporations as much as I do."

Camp performed at the first five Netroots Nations for the liberal blogosphere as well as the 2008 Democratic National Convention, performing during presentations that also featured President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Harry Reid, and John Edwards.

In 2008, before the presidential campaign he appeared on Fox News morning show Fox & Friends. They asked him to do left-wing jokes along with a right-wing comedian. Instead he went live on air saying "What is Fox News? It's just a parade of propaganda, isn't it? It's just a...festival of ignorance." The video clip was viewed by millions.

With Nick Alexander and Alan Lord, Camp co-authored the 2005 BIGfib Book of Bollocks, a collection of stories from the satirical website BIGfib.com. Camp has been a contributor to The Onion since February 2009 and was a staff comedy writer for The Huffington Post for ten months. He wrote and hosted OnDemand's "The Movie Loft" for three months in 2009.

Camp was born at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to Jewish parents and lived in Bethesda, Maryland, until 1989. His father is a psychoanalyst who served 20 years in the military as a doctor. His mother is a social worker. In 1989 the family moved to Richmond, Virginia, where Camp stayed until he went to college at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia.
