"I do all things for the glory of God, so my comedy will make you laugh, but you won't have to cover grandma's ears all the time." :)

​ 

Layton is a fun, energetic, and lovable young comedian whose Midwestern charm resonates with audiences of all kinds. With a dynamic mix of sharp material and engaging crowd work, Layton makes every show feel like a reunion with an old friend.

​

From ages 14 to 20, he played in bands and cut his teeth managing and promoting live shows and tours. That early experience in entertainment gave him a solid foundation, but everything changed the night he tried his first open mic—and instantly fell in love with stand-up comedy.

Within just three months, Layton won a local showcase at his home club. A year later, he took first place in the Show-Me Comedy Competition. By the age of 25, he had performed in 105 cities across 22 states.

​

Layton has spent years managing and featuring on national tours, sharing the stage with talents like Dusty Slay, Jamie Lissow, Brian Bates, Kevin Farley, Jackass’s Preston Lacy, and more! Today, he books Corner Pocket Comedy in Springfield, MO, and co-headlines the “Road Trip Comedy Tour,” which is rolling into cities all across the country—thanks to the Good Lord!
