GET UPDATES FROM Grant Lyon
 
Grant Lyon is a comedian and writer from Los Angeles, California. His comedic style is often described as sophisticated immaturity, blending intelligent wit with pure silliness. San Francisco Weekly describes him as “a hilariously sharp observer, not one of those tired white-guy bellyachers” and the East Bay Express writes “Lyon uses his knowledge of random Wiki-facts to set himself apart from other comedians. It’s a fabulous raison d’etre.”

He has performed in a number of prestigious comedy festivals including the Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival, the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, and the San Francisco Comedy Competition. In 2008, he won the Colorado Mile High Comedy Competition that took place all over the state and included comedians from all over the country.
