Feature: Scott Shaffer
A native of The Border Queen (Caldwell, Kansas), Scott Shaffer has the heart of a Midwesterner and the brain of a seasoned observer. He’s done shows in clubs you’ve heard of: The Icehouse in Pasadena, The Laugh Factory in Hollywood, and Zanies in Nashville. And he’s gone places some people won’t: Legendz in Lake Havasu, Petie’s Place in Tarzana, and The Rusty Nail in Hutchinson, Kansas. Scott has opened for Nate Bargatze, Nikki Glaser, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Moshe Kasher, and Andrew Santino, was runner-up at the St. Louis Make Me Laugh Comedy Contest, and won the Last Laffs Comedy Competition. His comedy is energetic, filled with punchlines, and most of all, generous and vulnerable, no matter what crowd he’s in front of.
