HEADLINER: Alex Scott

Alex Scott is a 20-year comedy veteran with national television credits including HBO's Def Comedy Jam, BET Comic View, Roland Martin on TV One News Now, and Tru TV's Lafftracks. After leaving the U.S. Air Force with severe PTSD, Alex found himself homeless in New York for a time but used comedy, his faith and family to pull himself up and become a successful comic writing for shows such as The Arsenio Hall Show, George Lopez Show and acting opportunities in Los Angeles. He now travels the country selling out venues with his brash, honest and hilarious brand of comedy.
