Every Sunday Modelface Comedy brings you the best stand up comedians from all over the country! This week we have Kourtlyn Wiggins from Atlanta!

Kourtlyn Wiggins is an Atlanta based stand-up comic who’s clever observations of life allow him to find the funny in even the most unfavorable situations. Taking inspiration from comedy giants such as Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, and Kevin Hart, Kourtlyn gives you an unfiltered glimpse into his atypical personal life.

Kourtlyn has shared stages with comedy greats including comedienne Ms. Pat, Bruce Bruce, Emo Phillips, and Ron White. He has participated in Laffapalooza and Laughing Skull comedy festivals.

In Atlanta, Kourtlyn features regularly at Laughing Skull Lounge and The Punchline. He was Laughing Skull’s resident comic September 2019. Kourtlyn will be hitting stages all over the country with comedienne Ms. Pat from BET’s “Ms. Pat Show,” beginning spring 2021.

When not on stage, Kourtlyn can be found hanging out with his son at Atlanta Hawks games, chauffeuring his daughter to dance classes, and dreadfully repeating himself to his wife.

Kourtlyn’s unorthodox thinking, coupled with his ability to draft a sound bit and deliver the perfect punchline, is sure to keep audiences laughing for years to come.

You don’t need to know plié from a jeté to enjoy Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. The company, affectionately known as the Trocks, brings its internationally beloved troupe of male dancers to Greenville to perform a brilliant combination of skillful pointe work and hilarious parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake.

In the nearly 50 years since the company’s founding, it has grown to achieve great appeal among more mainstream audiences who flock to theaters throughout the world to see the prima ballerinas perform. The Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals” (Sydney Star Observer).

Lace Larrabee is an actor, nationally touring stand-up comedian and former southern beauty queen who can be seen at clubs from coast to coast. Lace was a season 17 semifinalist on America’s Got Talent and was brought back at the finale show to roast judge Simon Cowell alongside the Roastmaster General himself, Jeff Ross!

Lace’s debut comedy album, White Trash Cinderella, produced by 800 Pound Gorilla Records, was released in September 2022 at the number 1 spot on the comedy charts. The accompanying YouTube special garnered over 190k views in the first month and continues to climb.

Lace and fellow Atlanta comedian Katherine Blanford (The Tonight Show) co-host the hilariously healing podcast, CHEATIES! CHEATIES is a delicious, juicy part of a well-balanced diet. Every week, these two snarky co-hosts interview a guest who’s either been cheated on or been the cheater. This podcast focuses on the mistakes we all make in relationships and, more importantly, how we overcome them and make it out on top.

Lace is also very passionate about helping to elevate the voices of other women. She founded Atlanta’s first and only all female stand-up comedy class Laugh Lab at the legendary Punchline Comedy Club. Laugh Lab now offers coed classes as well and was voted “2019 Best Comedy Class” by Atlanta Magazine.
