Our friend Tony Youngblood wrote a lovely profile of Nashville comedian and musician Sean Parrott which was published in Nashville Arts Magazine. The full interview is available on their website, NashvilleArts.com. Here is an excerpt, where Sean explains how he started becoming interested in performing stand-up:
“I was writing plays in college and looking for a more self-centered way to make people laugh, without all the trouble of sets, costumes and, worst of all, actors. (Don’t trust anyone who wants to lie for a living.)”
Read the full interview over at NashvilleArts.com.

It is an insult to Brad Edwards to even try to describe him. The essence of Brads comedy chops can not be crammed into anything as small and dull as written words. Its like looking at a photo of an atom bomb and acting like you got hit by an atom bomb NO A GAMMA BOMB like the Hulk. Ok I was wrong you can explain Brad. Brad is like the Hulk: dang funny.

“I’m a weird guy but I come by it honestly, because my Mom is a weird guy too.” Since 2006, Sean Parrott has been bringing his charismatic stage presence and a unique point of view to comedy clubs and bars all over the Southeast. Brought up on Bugs Bunny and Monty Python, Sean is an observational absurdist with a keen eye for finding the humor in everyday life; our language, our friends and our jobs (What is the DEAL with those?) He has acted in award winning animated films (“Pound Dogs” has aired on the Independent Film Channel), appeared at the Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, and was picked as one of Nashville’s Funniest Comics by Reader’s Digest. Energy, intelligence, and wry wit make Sean Parrott one of the best young comics working today.
Parrott is also a fantastic musician. His most recent album, “THE DTH OVE LOF” spawned a video for his single, “Summertime (Featuring Swagnum P.I.)” which is one of the greatest things on the internet.

Internet sensation Gary Fletcher is the owner of a cat named Bug and is also co-creator of the stand-up powerhouse known as Corporate Juggernaut. He is very funny.
