No joke here! Comedy is back and we are thrilled to announce Troy Walker, Jackie Kashian, Tom Thakkar and Langston Kerman are joining the lineup at Telluride Blues & Brews Festival this year! Take a break from the music and check out afternoon comedy shows on the Blues Stage or go out on the town for late night humor at the dirty shows at the Friday and Saturday night Juke Joints starting at 10 pm. For the young at heart, please note that some of the comedy will be adult in nature.


Troy Walker

After making his network TV debut on The Late Late Show, Troy Walker has steadily racked up credits including VICE’s Flophouse, Comedy Central's Corporate and Fuse’s Uproarious. He is currently a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! and wrote for both the 95th and 96th Oscars! He also recently recorded his debut Album.

Troy was selected as one the Just for Laughs Montréal’s prestigious “New Faces”, in addition to appearing at numerous other national comedy festivals.

While he currently makes his home in Los Angeles, Troy originally hails from Denver, where he has won Comedy Works’ “New Faces” contest twice and is also a licensed attorney graduating from University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law.


Tom Thakkar

Tom Thakkar is a comedian you’ve seen on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," “Comedy Central’s Stand Up Presents,” “This Week at the Comedy Cellar,” “CONAN,” and as the host of Comedy Central’s “Stand Up with Tom Thakkar.” You’ve heard him as a regular on the hit show “Are You Garbage” and as the former co-host of “You Up with Nikki Glaser.” He does stand up all around country and all around New York as a regular at The Comedy Cellar, Caroline’s on Broadway, New York Comedy Club, Stand Up New York, and more. Other credits include: Just For Laughs, Doug Loves Movies, This Might Help with Matt Braunger, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, The Stand Up Show with Jon Dore, and First Nations Comedy Experience.


Langston Kerman

Langston Kerman is a comedian, actor and writer who has appeared in such programs as Insecure, The Boys, South Side, and The Other Black Girl, just to name a few. He is one of the stars and creators of the show Bust Down, which he executive produced alongside his friends Sam Jay, Chris Redd, and the late Jak Knight. He was the head writer of the HBO late night show Pause with Sam Jay. And he most recently wrote for the Netflix series John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA. He is the cohost of My Momma Told Me, which he makes alongside David Gborie under Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network. Langston’s one hour Netflix comedy special Bad Poetry will premiere later this summer on August 20th. He's never sure how to end these things, so that's it.


Jackie Kashian

Jackie Kashian has been doing standup for over 35 years. Last seen on the Late Late Show with James Corden, her new Special (and album of the same title) Stay-Kashian was #1 on Amazon, iTunes and debuted #3 on Billboard’s Comedy Chart.

She has over 75 million listens on Spotify and Pandora. She has two podcasts; The Dork Forest (since 2006) where she talks with people about what they love to do, think about, and collect. She also has a podcast with Laurie Kilmartin where they talk about the thing they both love to do and think about… standup comedy. It is called The Jackie and Laurie Show.
