JASON VEST
Jason Vest, a retired veteran turned stand-up comedian, has built a following of 150,000 across platforms in just three years with his offbeat, insightful humor. Trading military boots for a microphone, he mixes the absurd with the profound, using his comedy to both entertain and champion mental health awareness.
Jason has performed at top venues like the Chicago Laugh Factory, Chicago Comedy Bar, Kenosha Comedy Club, and Comic Strip Live. He’s a former regular host of Michigan’s longest-running comedy production, the “Future of Comedy Show,” and once hosted alongside the ’90s band Lit. His voice has also graced KROQ’s Loveline, where he tackled quirky topics like the world of feet. On the “Kill Tony” podcast at Austin’s Comedy Mothership, he’s appeared twice, winning the Big Joke Book award for his knack for finding laughs in the silliest places.
Beyond the stage, Jason was the former host and content creator/writer for the wildly viral “Prettiest Butt Hole in Michigan” competition, a bizarre yet hugely popular project that cemented his reputation for pushing comedic boundaries. Recently, he’s taken his act on the road, touring nationally to bring his funhouse-mirror take on society to a broader audience.

“Fun atmosphere, hilarious comics and a great vibe is what I got from a random Friday night at the PLAYHOUSE Nightclub. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the show and look to go there again. Glad that Jacksonville finally has a comedy club and something to do that is hilarious to blow off steam from a long work week. Highly recommend for anyone, either it being solo, on a date or with a group this will be a very enjoyable night at PLAYHOUSE!!”“We enjoyed the comedy show. We were politely welcomed at the door by the owner. The seating areas do have comfortable cushioned chairs. We sat in the bar area to watch a two hour show. I was not disappointed. The ambiance was great for date-night with my husband. We shared several drinks and lots of laughs together. We look forward to another date-night at the Playhouse.”"My wife and I was looking for something new to do in Jacksonville NC. So we decided to try out Playhouse. It didn’t disappoint was amazing Chris Robbins was an awesome host and the comedians were funny as hell. The waiters were on point serving drinks. We will definitely be doing this more often!""LOVEEEEE going to Playhouse! It’s such a great time and the perfect way to spend a Friday evening. We’ve been several times over the last few months and the comics just keep getting better. The atmosphere and drinks are good, and the host is okay too (jk he’s awesome!). I’m glad we have something like this to do in Jacksonville."
