He has appeared on CONAN (twice), THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT, NBC’S LAST COMIC STANDING, HALF HOUR SPECIAL WITH COMEDY CENTRAL, and THIS WEEK FROM THE CELLAR on Comedy Central.

Shane has been heard on popular podcasts such as BERTCAST WITH BERT KREISCHER, BARSTOOL’S KFC RADIO, DR DREW AFTER DARK, THE HONEYDEW WITH RYAN SICKLER, and ARE YOU GARBAGE and a slew of others. His podcast, NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE with Kyle Kinane is available wherever you get your podcasts. The New York Times noted “Mr. Torres has a laconic drawling delivery with deliberate pacing, placing him firmly in the tradition of dry deadpan specialists like Tig Notaro and Todd Barry. But his style is warmer, relying on punchlines with corkscrew turns that have moments of vulnerability and even melancholy.” Shane has been seen acting alongside household names for NBC’S RED NOSE DAY and on IFC’S COMEDY BANG BANG. In 2019, Shane was one of a handful of comedians invited to perform on Will Smith’s THIS JOKA. He has also hosted his own series for Comedy Central called SHANE TORRES CONQUERS YOUR FEARS and a show for Paramount Plus named HOW GOOD CAN IT GET WITH SHANE TORRES.
