A black guy and a white guy walk into a theater…
Ty Barnett (Last Comic Standing, Tonight Show) and Ian Harris (Hulu Special, Jimmy Kimmel Live) are two of the smartest comedians working today! Both are nationally touring comedians who view life from two very different perspectives, but come together to unite audiences through laughter while pontificating on race, religion, parenting, relationships and politics and other things that often keep us…”Divided.”
ABOUT TY BARNETT
Ty, a Chicago native, got his start at Seattle’s “Comedy Underground”, since then, his star keeps rising!! Dedicated to “BRINGING THE FUNNY”, his shows have been called “hilarious” by Whoopi Goldberg, “thought provoking”, “edgy”, and have earned him countless T.V. appearances. As one of the 2, finalist on the most watched and Emmy nominated season of “LAST COMIC STANDING”, Ty has gone on to multiple “TONIGHT SHOW” appearances! Jay Leno says Ty is “one of the funniest comedians working”. Along with HBO’s “BAD BOYS OF COMEDY”, his own “COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS” and 1 hour Special “ISSUES”, Ty has been called “one to watch” by the Hollywood Reporter. Ty has also been seen on the sitcoms “Samantha Who” and “Til Death”, as well as “Nick Mom night out” and “Tosh.O”. With charm and style that transend race and age, Ty’s ability to rock ANY and ALL audiences has made him an international favorite on stages from the South Side of Chicago to theaters in London. You don’t “go to” a Ty Barnett show, you “hang-out” with Ty Barnett.
ABOUT IAN HARRIS
A fascinating and funny mix of spot-on impressions and clever, cutting-edge comedy, Ian Harris’ act has landed him coveted appearances on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!, COMEDY CENTRAL, DirecTV’s MMA drama “KINGDOM”, as well as his own hour TV special “CRITICAL & THINKING”” which AXS TV called “A truly masterful hour of wit, humor and derisive jabbing.” A top headliner for over 20 years, Ian was also named #25 on Entertainment Journal’s Top 100 Comedians list, was a semi-finalist in Comedy Central’s “Laugh Riots Competition” and dubbed “Top Character Comedian in Town” by Backstage West. His keen grasp of science, evidenced by his satirical, skeptical take on everything from religion to global warming-deniers and beyond, has also earned him comparisons to favorite thinking-man’s comics like Lenny Bruce, Bill Maher and George Carlin. With a unique point of view and an impressive array of comedian talents, Ian delivers a thought provoking style of stand-up all his own.
