Hello and welcome, My name is Jason Lawhead and this is my stand-up comedy website. I hope you find it informative and useful for getting to know what makes me a comic. In recent years I have learned what it takes to become a successful comedian and now I'm tacking action in applying those lessons.

My Career was launched in a smokey basement of a bar in Cleveland. The first experience I had doing comedy wasn't an open mic, nor a "comedy class" yet it was hosting an inaugural comedy show brilliantly named the "Grimey Ninety". My friend Michael Farrell, (an aspiring comic at the time) started a comedy show and on its opening night the MC didn't make it.

As a favor to Mike, I hosted the show. From that night, I hosted that show every Wednesday for three and half years. Although I credit that experience with making me comfortable on stage and forcing a writing habit my love to perform made it fresh every week. I also had the best paid "internship" so to speak any comedian could have. As an employee of one of the best clubs in the country, (Hilarities) in Cleveland, it transformed me into a comedian as opposed to just a host. Gaining 4 years experience performing at the posh club I got the opportunity to meet, perform and talk comedy with some of the greats of the business.

I've tried to retain as much advice given to me from likes of Jackie Mason to David Alan Grier. By watching guys like George Wallace and John Caponera charm audiences to Carl Labove or Jimmy Shubert overwhelm them.

Listening to word choice delivered by Bill Burr or Greg Giraldo while being drilled home emphatically Ala Bobby Slayton. Taking all of that, I bring me to Southern California. Honing my act with a surge I am ready to do the work. Excited about the future I hope you'll continue to use my website to see how it turns out.
