Named one of Variety's 10 Comics to Watch in 2021, Kountry Wayne (a.k.a. Wayne Colley) has garnered a loyal following from his widely popular digital sketches and hilarious standup, generating an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers within the entertainment industry as one of comedy's most notable rising stars.
Since his first Facebook post in October 2014 went viral, the charismatic comic has amassed millions of followers across Facebook and Instagram, where fans tune in daily to his viral sketches featuring original characters such as Drip and Buddy, with cameos from notable celebrities including Ludacris, Mike Epps, Charlamagne tha God and Lamar Odom, to name a few.
Keeping it real, mining comic gold from the everyday and applying his genius for freestyling, Wayne is a master comic storyteller. In 2017 Wayne embarked on the 150-date national "Child Support Tour," selling out clubs and theaters across America. That wasn't just a clever moniker - he's the dad of ten kids and even as he builds his own entertainment legacy, he's all about securing the future for them.
"My hashtag, my mantra, is 'Help is On The Way!' - that's my slogan, I own it, because I believe God's got my back and your back and whatever is stressing you out today, it won't last because help is truly on the way," says Wayne, whose endearingly funny way with English comes from growing up "Kountry" in Millen, GA (pop. 3500), between Statesboro and Augusta. He was given what became his stage name during a stint living and going to school in Savannah in the mid-2000s.
In January 2020, Wayne began his "The People's Champ" North American tour, travelling to cities across the U.S. and Canada including Miami, Pittsburgh, West Palm Beach, Phoenix and more. In the spring of 2021, Wayne performed in arenas alongside comedy heavyweight, Mike Epps, on the "In Real Life Comedy Tour," ranked #1 on Pollstar's Top Global Concert Tour list. Wayne was featured on MTV's "Wild 'N Out" with Nick Cannon, starred in the BET original Christmas rom-com film, "Holiday Heartbreak," and debut at #10 of The Hollywood Reporter's Top Comedians List, which includes Ricky Gervais, D.L Hughley, and Kevin Hart. Most recently, Wayne wrapped his "Straight Out The Mud" tour presented by Live Nation.
Wayne, along with Kym Whitley, currently co-hosts "I Love Us," a new comedy clip show on BET+. Additionally, Wayne is set to release his first book "Help Is On The Way" in April 2023 - a memoir covering everything from his childhood, past struggles and path to success. Up next, he will be starring alongside Chloe Bailey, Quavo, Mack Wilds, Druski, and more, in Universal Pictures' "Praise This," produced by Will Packer and directed by Tina Gordon.
With his humble roots and unbridled energy, Wayne continues to build his audience with cutting edge yet clean, curse free material whose appeal transcends all cultural lines and is fit for (and often draws) the whole family. All while still posting content online daily.
I thought the show was great! All of the comedians were funny and relatable, especially Wayne. Overall it was 9/10, it could have done without the lady lip syncing but other than that great show!
Wonderful show! Time was utilized properly, all of the comedians were hilarious.. Kountry Wayne needs to tour more often, especially here in Charlotte!
Let’s just say that was the best stand up I have ever been to hands don they really underestimate Kountry Wayne but he is very funny and good at what he does.

I love the show I always wanted to see Kountry Wayne I missed him in Lafayette and Baton Rouge where I live but as soon as I heard he was coming to New Orleans I purchased two tickets right away I wasn’t going to miss him again I have been following him since 2012 and I watches skits every day I just think he is the best comedian of all Love you Kountry Wayne
He was very funny but his set was not long enough for my money.30-40 minutes is not good enough.
Greetings, I really enjoyed the show. My 1st time going see Kountry Wayne and I'm happy I did! Wayne and his guest comedians were all funny and they kept the crowd engaged. I will definitely go see him again.

Kountry was awesome my husband and I luv the show from the beginning to end
It was funny the venue was tight and he pretty gm funny not hilarious
This was a great show. My husband and I really enjoyed Kountry Wane and the other two comedians as well. It was an awesome date night experience.
On time ; funny, well done. Need more space between people.
It was a beautiful evening in the city of Detroit. The only thing was waiting in line to get into the venue. Not understanding why, the line rapped along the building. However, good atmosphere, grown and sexy crowd, and a great show. Well worth the money. We enjoyed ourselves.
It was awesome!!!!! Kountry Wayne is top tier and definitely would be seeing him again!
I waited in a fast moving winding line. I've never seen a line so long for an entertainer. Yes, we waited without anyone complaining (wore my comfy shoes, so it was a breeze for me), Kountry Wayne is worth the wait (next time a fast pass). The show just gave and gave and gave, it was great, entertaining and so funny. To top it all off for me was I happened to be seated right where one of my favorite Kountry Wayne Stars (Amber) was seated and she was kind enough to take photos with me and others in the section. so, you see it was amazing for me. I can't wait to see Wayne's show again.
Never a doll moment anytime Kountry Wayne is in Ohio we there this is are third year in a row last year we drive to Cincinnati, Ohio to see his show
The show was really good. That was my first time there and the seating was so bad. I had an overweight woman sitting on me. I was sandwich between two of them. I will not go back to this venue because of the seating.
