Episode 13: Clint Coley

This week on Center Stage: Clint Coley! Clint Coley is an acclaimed comedian and writer who honed his skills at The Laff House in Philadelphia and the New York circuit before moving to Los Angeles. Since 2012, Coley has been the opening act for D.L. Hughley as he tours the country. Coley's comedic gift led to Hughley crowning him "The Prince." Coley has also opened for fellow Philadelphian and acclaimed comedian Kevin Hart. Beyond being a gifted comedian, Coley is a savvy businessman. Coley produced and headlined Babylon Cartel Presents: Clint Coley's All Jokes Aside, performing in front of a sold-out crowd at Philadelphia's Freedom Theater. Following the success of that special, Coley launched his own comedy series, Chill, it's Just Jokes, at Philadelphia's Helium Comedy Club. Its success led to the series expanding to Los Angeles' Hollywood Improv. In 2014, his debut comedy album, "I'm an Adult," was turned into a Live Nation theater tour with Coley selling over 1,600 tickets in 4 cities. His follow-up comedy EP, "Sturgis," reached #13 on the Billboard comedy album chart and reached #3 on the iTunes chart. His latest comedy album, "Sensitive," was released in 2018. Outside of stand-up, Coley has written, produced, and starred in various short films under his Everybody Eats Productions banner. "The First Date," "The First Time," and "Scratch" were each accepted into the International Black Film Festival. "Scratch" and "The First Time" were nominated for Best Short Film, with "The First Time" winning the award.
