CLAUDE STUART

From packing comedy venues across the globe to regular television appearances on shows like “The Tonight Show” and “Last Comic Standing”, veteran comedian Claude Stuart has come a long way from his down home southern roots. By his own admission, he was paddled on more than one occasion for being the class clown. Claudes explosive, in-your-face, rapid-fire, madman stage style is truly an exhilarating assault on the senses and has evoked comparisons to golden era physical comedians such as Steve Martin, Robin Williams and Jim Carrey. Claudes unique brand of Don Rickles-esque crowd interaction, coupled with clever and well-written jokes, makes him not only the worlds first physical insult comedian, but a comedy triple threat!

Claude’s natural comedic flair was recognized early on. As a teen, he interned at a local radio station. Though he was not supposed to be on the air, one of the DJs thought he was funny and let him call in as celebrities and random characters. When the boss found out all these voices and jokes were coming from Claude, he offered him a job writing and co-hosting the morning radio show, which was broadcast to 35 cities nationwide. Next, he won the title “Funniest Person at SMU”. After a pit stop in Houston where he developed his stand-up act, he naturally ended up in L.A. This led to an extremely successful stand-up career; as well as myriad appearances in feature films and television, including starring with Jay Leno on the wildly popular “Undercover Jay” skit segment of “The Tonight Show”.

Many people recognize Claude Stuart from hilarious national commercials he did for products such as Honda, Heineken, Jeep, Grapenuts, Doritos and even Midol. He has appeared on “That 70s Show”, “Scrubs”, “The Late, Late Show”, “Will & Grace”, “Comics Unleashed”, “Agent Carter”, “Melissa & Joey”, “Last Man Standing with Tim Allen”, “The Best Damn Sports Show, Period!”, “Oblivious!”, “Talk Soup”, and as a regular on T”he Bob and Tom Show”. He has been in feature films such as Starship Troopers, Man On The Moon and Adam Carolla’s Road Hard. He also created a show for The Tennis Channel that he wrote and hosted called “Game, Set & Laugh!”

Claude most recently co-created and is starring in the critically acclaimed sketch series “High Land Parking” on Amazon Prime, and he is a regular performer on The Weather Channel’s “Weather Gone Viral!”  He wrote for NBC’s “Feeding America”, a special event starring Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, and Adam Sandler that fed 16 million hungry Americans.  He currently has two different comedy specials streaming on both Drybar and Tubi.  Claude has also been writing for the hit comedy game show “Funny You Should Ask” starring Howie Mandel, Tiffany Haddish, Whitney Cummings, Jeffrey “The Roastmaster” Ross, and Jon Lovitz; and he has gotten over 600 jokes on the air.
