RAD COMEDY

FEATURING JAY HUNTER

“Modelface Comedy brings the best comedians from all over the country to Asheville, NC. This week we are excited to have Jay Hunter!” – "Raised in Cleveland Ohio, Jay Hunter joined the military to see the world. US Navy Nuclear electronics technician, a Homer J Simpson on an aircraft carrier. What returned? A refreshingly goofy take on a life that is ready, willing and able to be laughed at. From dry wit to fly on the wall observations, Jay Hunter is a walking, talking inside job.”
