Kountry Wayne

Raw, real and wickedly-hilarious, “Kountry” Wayne Colley’s microformat digital videos have catapulted him from life in small town Georgia to mega social media superstar and comedy sensation, selling out clubs and theaters across America.

Since his first Facebook post in October 2014 went viral, the charismatic comic has amassed millions of followers across Facebook and Instagram, generating an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers within the entertainment industry for being one of the funniest emerging performers to hit the comedy scene.

Kountry Wayne

Keeping it real, mining comic gold from the everyday and applying his genius for freestyling, Wayne is a master comic storyteller. In 2017 Wayne embarked on a the 150-date national “Child Support Tour” throughout the U.S. That wasn’t just a clever moniker – he’s the dad of nine kids and even as he builds his own entertainment legacy, he’s all about securing the future for them.

“My hashtag, my mantra, is ‘Help is On The Way!’ – that’s my slogan, I own it, because I believe God’s got my back and your back and whatever is stressing you out today, it won’t last because help is truly on the way,” says Wayne, whose endearingly funny way with English comes from growing up “Kountry” in Millen, GA (pop. 3500), between Statesboro and Augusta.

He was given what became his stage name during a stint living and going to school in Savannah in the mid-2000s. In January 2020, Wayne began his “The People’s Champ” North American tour, travelling to cities across the U.S. and Canada including Miami, Pittsburgh, West Palm Beach, Phoenix and more.

In addition to his comedy tour, Wayne performed alongside comedy heavyweight, Mike Epps, along with an all-star lineup, on the “The Fabulously Funny Comedy Festival” arena tour, in major cities such as Los Angeles, Detroit, Miami, Chicago, New York, Houston, Nashville, Atlanta and Dallas, to name a few.

With his humble roots and unbridled energy, Wayne continues to build his audience with cutting edge yet clean, curse free material whose appeal transcends all cultural lines and is fit for (and often draws) the whole family. All while still posting content online daily.

Kelly K Dubb

K-Dubb aka Kelly Walker

Straight out of Memphis, Tennessee, meet comedian, Kelly, “K-Dubb” Walker, an out-the-box genius, who happens to be hilarious.

K-Dubb has built an amazing resume made up of feature performances on several internationally syndicated comedy television shows, including P-Diddy’s HBO series, “Bad Boys of Comedy,” selling out shows from Los Angeles to Japan, and headlining around the world.

A perfect blend of satire and ‘good ole’ laugh-your-butt-off comedy are the hallmark of Walker’s unique style. His path from amateur, household comic to gracing stages around the world has given him a natural, un-contrived ability to connect with diverse crowds of every caliber imaginable and address any subject. K-Dubb continues to keep it real about issues plaguing under-served communities across the nation, while his universal appeal unceasingly woos audiences time and time again.

The microphone was first given to K-Dubb by legendary comedian, “Earthquake,” which only resonates with the popular myth: “if a legend brings you to the stage your first time, then you are destined to become a legend yourself.”
