Clay Beyersdorfer

Clay Beyersdorfer is a stand-up comedian known for sharp writing, dry delivery, and darkly honest storytelling that resonates long after the punchline. A fast-rising voice in the Midwest comedy scene, Clay has built a reputation for smart, fearless comedy rooted in real life—and is now expanding that voice beyond the stage and onto the screen.

In the past year alone, he performed at the Laugh Out Loveland Comedy Festival, was named Best of Fest at the Killeen Comedy Festival, and was selected as an official performer for the 2025 Flyover Comedy Festival in St. Louis. He has opened for nationally touring comedians including Kym Whitley (Netflix), Greg Stone (Comedy Central), and Amy Shanker (HBO).

Drawing on years of stage experience and six years of service in the United States Army, Clay brings a grounded, cinematic perspective to his comedy—mining life’s darker corners with intelligence, empathy, and precision. That same voice is now translating naturally to television and film, where his character-driven storytelling, strong point of view, and authentic presence make him a compelling performer both on camera and behind the scenes.

Equally at home in clubs, theaters, and alternative venues, Clay connects with audiences who appreciate comedy that’s bold, thoughtful, and unmistakably human—whether live onstage or on screen.
