Clinton Coley is a 22-year old comedian making a name for himself in his hometown of Philadelphia. Coley is an eager newcomer addicted to the spotlight, the stage and having all eyes on him. In the summer of 2010, Coley decided that Philadelphia was not the place to get him to his dreams, so he picked up and moved to New York City to tackle the toughest crowd and beat the best competition in America. The funny man loves what he does not only for the attention, but also because of comedy’s healing effects. In his own words, “Comedy is the best medicine,” and through his comedy, Mr. Coley wants to impact lives.
Clinton has always had the ability to make people laugh; however he didn't decide to pursue to a career in comedy until he wanted to impress a girl. And it was one of the best decisions of his life-in his attempts to woo, he unknowingly found his passion. On February 7, 2007, Coley hopped on stage in front of an audience for the first time, and was booed. He continued to get booed for eight consecutive weeks; however his tough skin, willpower, and passion wouldn't allow him to walk away from what he was he born to do. On the ninth week, the audience laughed, and from that week on, anytime Clinton hits the stage he leaves his audiences roaring.
Coley’s quick wit, charisma and storytelling has given him a buzz and high accolades in the Philadelphia and New York City comedy circuit. Clinton’s honest on-stage personality keeps him busy performing at colleges and comedy clubs around the United States. Coley has been lucky enough to work with comedians Kevin Hart, D.L. Hughley, TuRae, Bruce Bruce, Sommore and Spank. Who all have stamped Coley as the next big comedian to hail from the “City of Brotherly Love.”
At the end of it all, Clinton simply wants people to be able to recite his jokes and it brings a smile to their faces. He wants people to say, “That was one hilarious dude. He made an impact on my life.” He plans on working non-stop until he is known as the Greatest Comedian of All Time.
Most recently, Clint has entered BET's The Game Tribute Competition.
