Shane Ogden

Specializing in college shows, he has performed at fundraisers, nightclubs, cafeterias and even in barns. His philosophy is a simple one: Truth.

"The truth requires no memorization, making the show less mechanical and more natural. It also helps me remember my material...I never forget my act because it's not an act. Although I use embellishment to keep it entertaining, everything in my show comes from true events and experiences in my life.

"Twisted, nonsensical, dark and silly... his show is thrilling and extreme.

"I talk about things in life that people have trouble saying in public, either because they haven't thought about it, or because they don't want to think about it. I hold nothing back. If you like my stuff, you'll love it. Nobody sees my show and says "uh... that was ok". It's more like "Oh my god! I can't believe he said that...and I can't believe I'm laughing."
