Hampton Yount was born, raised and educated by wolves. He's also a comedian and writer. He's so silly. Hampton (it's me, come on) started in the DC area where he grew from the worst comedian in the world to the second worst comedian in the world. Eventually he won local competitions (DC Improv Funniest Local Comedian 2008) and then set his sights on Los Angeles, where he currently resides. Over the years, Hampton has participated in the following stand-up achievements: Conan (2014), Last Comic Standing (2014), Comedy Central's Miami Comedy Festival (2014), Gilda's Laughfest (2014), headlined Laugh Your Asheville Comedy Festival (2014), Adam Devine's House Party (2013), named one of the Top Comics to Watch by Comedy Central (2013), New York Comedy Festival (2013), SXSW (2012), Bridgetown Comedy Festival (five years), Named one of the Comic's to Watch by LA Weekly (2012), and Esquire's Top Comedians To Watch (2012). Hampton has also been working as a writer for such shows as Ridiculousness, Upload With Shaquille O'Neal, Loiter Squad, an upcoming comedy show on AMC, and some pretty cool pilots that didn't get picked up. But he's also got wolf stuff he can fall back on. Also, the webcomic that he made with his brother Clay Yount, Rob and Elliot, has reached a wide fanbase and has been a critics' favorite on occasion.

If you had to guess based on names alone, you might think Chance Willie is a rodeo clown, and you wouldn't be far off. Chance Willie is a comic from Nashville, TN who combines cutting observations with stupid funny anecdotes. Like his dumb name, his comedy is a good balance of serious and silly. You may have seen him skulking around at Zanies Comedy Club or perhaps stress-eating all the candy in the green room.
