About Me

Born & raised in Lorain, Ohio Jason Lawhead has been described by teachers & family as a day dreamer & late bloomer. Held back in the 5th grade for exactly those attributes was the first leap that drew Jason to comedy as a way to cope with life's shortcomings & disappointments. Family fodder, making sports funny and his overall observation on the current state of all kinds of affairs is where Lawhead best treads. Starting out at open mic's in Cleveland under the mentorship of legendary club owner Nick Kostis at Hilarities in early 2004 is where he started & by 2013 Jason had broke through as a full time working comic when he made a name for himself as a regular opening act for Bill Burr on both of Bill’s “Billy Bible Belt” & “Billy Red State” theater tours.  By the end of 2015 Lawhead had appeared on Gotham Comedy Live twice, while also being selected as one of the top 100 comedians cast to season 9 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. He capped the year off nearly selling out his hometown 1,400 seat Lorain Palace Theater with his dad as his opening act in his self described "night of my life". He is a favorite & regular at some of the best clubs from NYC to Las Vegas to L.A. & all parts in between. Constantly writing jokes, periodically watching sports, in the kitchen cooking or traveling with his wife is where Lawhead loves to be if he’s not on stage making people laugh.
