Vince Martin's Bio/Resume Just 29 years old, Vince Martin has already established himself as a fixture on the national comedy circuit. Born and raised in New Jersey, Vince's career began in New York City, where he quickly made a name for himself and performed at the city's finest clubs, including Comic Strip Live, Stand Up New York, and the renowned Caroline's on Broadway. A self-described "recovering Yankee", Vince then moved down South, becoming the house emcee at Myrtle Beach's Comedy Cabana before taking his act on the road. Within just two years of his stand-up debut, he was featuring at clubs throughout the Southeast, and Vince now performs at clubs and colleges across the country, from Florida to Chicago to Arizona. Vince's clever and distinctive perspective on American life combines with a laid-back, friendly delivery to create a fun, upbeat, and wildly funny act. His eye for the absurdities of modern life and his unique writing style leave crowds in stitches. Audience members have called him "hilarious" and "hysterically funny", while bookers have labeled Vince "brilliant" and a "rising star". Intelligent yet silly, Vince's act is a hit in the North and the South, for crowds of all backgrounds and tastes. He now lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
