Brandon Broady
Growing up and attending school in Silver Spring, MD, Broady has always loved being the center of attention and humoring others. He was named “Biggest Comedian” by the Senior Class of 2004 at Springbrook High School. Making others laugh, and being the biggest comedian/class clown came naturally to him, and it was not until teachers, family, and friends suggested that he hone his skills of comedy and apply them towards acting that he found use of his talent
Ever since moving to LA in 2010, Broady has been making a name for himself in the comedy scene, performing at The Comedy Store, working with Donnell Rawlings (“Chappelle’s Show”) and opening for Cedric The Entertainer.

Jones’ standup comedy was a gift. During a difficult year when his wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor, she gave him comedy classes at the DC Improv for their 17th wedding anniversary.
