- Cliff Cash
- Cliff Cash got his comedy start in Wilmington, NC at Nutt St. Comedy, now Dead Crow Comedy Room. In the years since he’s gone on to win Port City’s Top Comic, Comedy Zone’s Almost Famous, and Best of the Fest at SLO Comedy Festival, and he’s been a finalist in Comedy Central’s UpNext and Standup NBC. He’s played iconic rooms from The Comedy Store in LA to the Comedy Cellar in New York City. He’s also headlined festivals like Altercation Comedy Festival in Austin and Tree Fort Festival in Boise. Cliff has been featured on Sirius XM Comedy Central, Rawdog, Laughs TV, Rooftop Comedy, and has a half-hour special from Dry Bar. His 2021 debut album Halfway There (released through StandUp! Records ) spent a week at number one on iTunes. In between touring, Cash is on a mission to see all the national parks in the United States. So far he's seen 45 out of 62 while traveling in a sprinter van he converted to live in. Being a full time nomad makes being a full time comedian a little more "do-able." SNL’s Kevin Nealon called him “a mix between Rory Scovel and Bill Hicks,” promised to help him get on Conan, and then never talked to him again.Cash’s comedy has been called “the comedic voice of the new south” as he challenges old paradigms and stereotypes from his deeply religious and conservative roots. Cliff tackles everything from racism to homophobia, from greed and war to death and divorce saying, “I believe it is our duty as comics to shine the light of levity into the dark corners of the human experience, and by doing so we can take power away from the things that sadden or scare us. Maybe that old saying about laughter being the best medicine really is true. I hope so because I don’t have health insurance.”
