From packing comedy venues across the globe to regular television
appearances on shows like “The Tonight Show,” and “Last Comic
Standing,” Claude Stuart has come a long way from his down home
southern roots. By his own admission, he was “paddled on more than
one occasion for being the class clown.” Claude’s explosive,
in-your-face, rapid-fire, madman stage style is truly an exhilarating
assault on the senses and has evoked comparisons to golden era
physical comedians such as Steve Martin, Robin Williams and Jim
Carrey. Claude’s unique brand of Don Rickles-esque crowd
interaction, coupled with clever well-written jokes makes him not only
the world’s first physical insult comedian but a “comedy triple
threat!”
Claude’s decision to pursue a career as a comedian was not well
received by his family. Born in deep south tugboat town, Greenville
Mississippi, Claude’s attorney father and school teacher mother were
not initially thrilled their only son chose stand-up over law school.
Growing up, there was a lot of judgement. “Most kids got in trouble;
I got cross examined and would hear things like, ‘This is what you
did wrong and here’s why,’” says Claude. Instead of taking the
criticism personally, he transformed the experience into the unique
style his fans have come to know and love. He likens his comedy to
legal arguments focused upon proving a point, which clearly comes from
growing up in a family full of lawyers. Now, even his parents agree:
Comedy was the right choice.
Claude’s natural comedic flair was recognized early on. As a teen he
interned at a local radio station and ended up writing and performing
a morning show broadcast to over 30 cities nationwide. Next he won the
title, “Funniest Person at SMU.” After a pit stop in Houston where
he developed his stand up act, he naturally ended up in L.A.. This
lead to an extremely successful stand up career; as well as myriad
appearances in feature films and television, including a recent spot
starring with Jay Leno on the wildly popular “Undercover Jay” skit
segment of “The Tonight Show.” Some of his other credits include
national commercials for products such as, Honda, Heineken, Jeep,
Grapenuts and even Midol. He has appeared on “That 70’s Show,”
“Scrubs,” “Comics Unleashed,” ABC FAMILY'S "Melissa & Joey",
ABC'S "Last Man Standing" with Tim Allen, “Entertainers,” “The
Best Damn Sports Period!,” “Oblivious!,” “Talk Soup” and as
a regular on “The Bob and Tom Show.”
Claude frequently performs at the world famous Hollywood Improv and is
currently on tour, headlining comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships and
military tours for our troops; nationwide and internationally. Claude
also recently co-founded the production company/sketch comedy team
“Recycled Babies”; in which he is a writer, producer and
performer. He is also appearing in the upcoming Adam Carolla movie,
