Claude Stuart

Claude Stuart is a comedian, actor, writer and producer. From packing comedy venues across the globe to regular television appearances on shows like "The Tonight Show", and "Last Comic Standing," 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." Claude's 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. Claude's unique brand of Don Rickles-esque crowd interaction, coupled with clever well-written jokes makes him not only the world's first physical insult comedian but a "comedy triple threat!" Claude's decision to pursue a career as a comedian was not well-received by his family. Born in deep south tugboat town, Greenville Mississippi, Claude's attorney father and school teacher mother were not initially thrilled their only son chose stand-up over law school. "Growing up, there was more judgment in my house than Nuremberg. Most kids got in trouble; I got cross examined,'" says Claude. Instead of taking the criticism personally, he transformed the experience into the unique style his fans have come to know and love. He likens his comedy to legal arguments focused upon proving a point, which clearly comes from growing up in a family full of lawyers. Now, even his parents agree: Comedy was the right choice! Claude's natural comedic flair was recognized early on. As a teen he interned at a local radio station and ended up writing and performing a morning show broadcast to over 30 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 lead to an extremely successful stand up career; as well as myriad appearances in feature films - such as Starship Troopers, Man On the Moon and Adam Carolla's Road Hard - and television, including a recent spot starring with Jay Leno on the wildly popular "Undercover Jay" skit segment of "The Tonight Show." Some of his other credits include national commercials for products such as, Honda, Heineken, Jeep, Grapenuts and even Midol. He has appeared on "That 70's Show," "Scrubs," "Comics Unleashed," "Will & Grace," "The Best Damn Sports Period!," "Oblivious!," "Talk Soup" and as a regular on "The Bob and Tom Show." Claude frequently performs at the world famous Hollywood Improv and is currently on tour, headlining comedy clubs, colleges , cruises and military tours for our troops; nationwide and internationally. Claude also recently co-founded the production company/sketch comedy team "Recycled Babies"; in which he is a writer, producer and performer.

What if the comedian says something I don't like or agree with?

At Comedy Zone, we understand that comedy is subjective and that different people may have varying opinions and sensitivities. Our stage features national touring comedians who come from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. As such, we have no way of predicting or controlling the specific content of their performances.

Comedy is meant to challenge boundaries and often pushes the envelope, exploring topics that may be considered controversial or edgy. While we strive to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all our guests, we acknowledge that some jokes or remarks might not align with your personal views.

If you find yourself in a situation where a comedian's material makes you uncomfortable, we kindly ask that you consider the following:

1. Quietly Leave: If what is being said on stage is bothering you, we encourage you to quietly exit the venue. We understand that not every comedic style or topic will resonate with everyone, and we respect your decision to step out if needed.

2. Respectful Atmosphere: Heckling or causing disruptions during a performance can negatively impact both the comedian and the overall experience for other attendees. To maintain a respectful atmosphere, we request that you refrain from engaging in heckling or any behavior that may disrupt the show.

3. No Refund Policy: It's important to note that any disagreement or heckling, regardless of intention, may be perceived as disruptive behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right to ask you to leave the premises without a refund.

Our goal is to create an environment where comedy enthusiasts can come together to enjoy a diverse range of comedic styles. While we cannot control every aspect of a comedian's routine, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring that everyone can have an enjoyable and entertaining experience at Comedy Zone.
