About the Lineup:

Jason Collings comedy career began when he convinced a local Hollywood club to give him stage time by saying that he had been doing it for several years. Fifteen minutes later, Collings found his purpose. The club made him an instant weekly regular, never knowing that he fibbed his way in the door. Jason has now appeared on The Tonight Show, BET Comic View, and Gotham Comedy Live. Starting his career late at age 35, he has now shared the stage with some of the biggest names in comedy. He has toured with comedians such as Jo Koy and most recently with Carlos Mencia. He is a well-known regular at major comedy clubs including the Laugh Factory, the Improv, the Ice House, the Punchline and the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club and is a paid regular at the World Famous Comedy Store. Collings' unique brand of observational humor and his ability to paint a picture with his physical comedy will have you falling out of your seats and coming back for more.
