Dwight Simmons got his start in comedy while in college at Indiana University in 2009. His energetic enthusiasm has allowed him to perform on an array of different stages ranging from theaters to house basements. Dwight combines a likable personality with well written material for an enjoyable experience. For the last few years, he has been a favorite in club and indie rooms alike.
Dwight has been selected to comedy festivals such as Limestone, Memphis, Crom and many others. Most recently, Dwight has been heard on Kevin Hart’s LOL Network and on the Bob and Tom show. In 2015, his self produced debut album, Pacifist Aggressive reached #1 on the iTunes charts. In 2018, he was named in Thrillist as one of the 50 “Best Undiscovered Stand-Up Comedians” in the country. His second album “Sip and Pass” also reached #1 on iTunes and Google Play. An avid writer and beer drinker, he contributes regularly to craftbeer.com and produces a traveling web-series called BrewTube Comedy. Dwight has also recently been employed as a contributing writer for the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Show.
Dwight and I talked about his start in comedy and how his act has been evolving.
