"San Francisco Weekly describes Grant Lyon as “a hilariously sharp
observer, not one of those tired white-guy bellyachers.” Born in Los
Angeles, taken to Chicago for middle school, high school in Sacramento,
college in Santa Cruz, Grant has been around. He is a practitioner of
sophisticated immaturity - his comedy blends intelligent wit with pure
silliness all while maintaining a relaxed surfer-dude personality. A
history major in college, his infatuation with this nation’s past and
present stand out throughout his show.
A former collegiate soccer player with UC Santa Cruz,
Grant decided to pursue a career on stage instead of on the field. He
was a featured performer at the Asheville Comedy Festival, winner of the
Colorado Mile High Comedy Competition, finished 2nd in the Ice House
Comedy Competition, appeared in the prestigious San Francisco Comedy
Competition, and has opened for names like Bobby Lee and Robin Williams.
He is a member of the sketch comedy group Four In The Back, performs
improv regularly, and is an accomplished actor. His comedy is clever and
honest, a unique combination of social commentary and ridiculous
observations."
