The Instagram star brings her virtual comedy to the live stage at the Columbus Funny Bone on Thursday
I am the complete opposite of a social media influencer. I gleefully post clichéd pictures of plane wing sunsets and our dogs on a whim, ineffectively hashtagged and heavily Insta-filtered with vivid shades of ‘Juno’ (sometimes Hefe, if I’m feeling fancy). My ‘like’ hearts pop up in single digits, and I’m relentlessly followed by overseas […]

November 30, 2018 2:00 pm Grant Walters 
Veteran improv comedy performers Joe Teeters and Jonathan DeMuth will take the stage at The Nest Theatre for two shows on December 1 and 28
Improv comedy in Columbus may indeed be approaching a halcyon.

October 29, 2018 3:43 pm Grant Walters 
The renowned improviser, stand-up comedian, and podcaster brings the latest on-stage version of the beloved "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" franchise to Columbus on Tuesday night with co-conspirators Jeff David, Joel Murray, and Ryan Stiles.
While walking in Hollywood on a July afternoon with my friend and former college RA, Russ, we passed an enthusiastic Audiences Unlimited staffer frenetically waving around passes for a taping of a ‘new’ television show called Whose Line Is It Anyway? We had both been avid fans of the UK version of the show, so […]
Interview: Comedian Kathy Griffin
September 13, 2018 12:00 pm Grant Walters 
Surviving and thriving after a controversial year in the national spotlight, the veteran raconteur and comedian returns to the Ohio Theatre on Saturday night
Whether you applauded or abhorred the protest image of Kathy Griffin wielding a latex mask that resembled the severed visage of President Donald Trump that surfaced last spring, the aftermath of its appearance is an intriguing, and unprecedented, case study of where comedy, politics, and freedom of expression can and should intersect in our current […]
Comedy Preview: Kountry Wayne
August 30, 2018 2:00 pm Grant Walters 
The social media star-turned-stand-up makes his way to the Columbus Funny Bone this weekend with his "Gift of Gab Tour"
Born and raised in the small town of Millen, Georgia, “Kountry” Wayne Colley began his professional career managing a nightclub with aspirations of making it big in the music industry. But life for the father of seven took an unexpected turn four years ago when a self-made comedy sketch video he posted unassumingly on Facebook […]
