Mitchell’s creative and and explosively silly comedy has led to numerous features including two Dry Bar Comedy specials\, Kevin Hart’s One Mic Stand and Tony Rock’s The Funny Spot.

His not-so-obvious delivery can be described along the lines of a ‘blue-collar Colbert Report.’ \n\n\n\nBrent has been writing daily topical jokes and news breakdowns for the nationally-syndicated Bob & Tom Show for more than 10 years. He has had two comedy albums debut at No. 1 on iTunes and his work is streamed heavily on SiriusXM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to see our Clean Comedian line up unfiltered?
